Umenie žasnúť Fascinácia hviezdnou oblohou ako užitočné cvičenie v údive
Pamätám si na jednu bezmesačnú letnú noc, ktorú som zažil takmer pred štyridsiatimi rokmi na kempingu v Severnej Dakote, keď boli hviezdy také jasné a nespočetné, až bolo ťažké rozoznať obvyklé súhvezdia. Noc bola taká tmavá, že som si takmer nevidel ruku, ktorú som si držal pred tvárou, ale hviezdy viseli tak nízko a nahusto, až som si myslel, že by som sa mohol načiahnuť a odtrhnúť ich z oblohy ako strapec hrozna. Miliardy hviezd.
The Forest and the Trees
Published October 1, 2026 The Catholic Thing In his new book, A Catholic Guide to Being Human, Dr. John Grabowski offers a reminder that the term “person” is more freighted with theological implications than we often consider. Identifying and unpacking those implications is the first step toward answering what is, perhaps, the greatest question of our age: What does it mean to be human?

Published August 20, 2026 The Catholic Thing I remember a moonless summer night at a campsite in North Dakota, almost forty years ago now, when the stars were so innumerable and bright, it was difficult to pick out the familiar constellations. The night was so black that I could barely see my own hand in front of my face, but the stars hung so thick and low I thought I could reach out and pluck them from the firmament like bunches of grapes. Billions of stars.
Rady do manželstva Začiatok manželstva nie je vrchol hory, ale len základný tábor
Prvýkrát sme sa videli, keď sme končili strednú školu - boli sme ani nie o rok starší, než je dnes naša najstaršia dcéra. Stačí to na to, aby sa aj trochu cynický muž v strednom veku rozcítil. Najväčšmi som však vďačný za všetky tie nezaslúžené požehnania, ktoré nám utvárali život za posledných dvadsať rokov. Ako to už pri vďačnosti býva, pohýna človeka k tomu, aby sa podelil.
Dnešní mladí Úzkostliví, ustráchaní, nepokojní a pochybujúci o nádeji. Čo by im pomohlo?
Dnes som dosť starý na to, aby som bol človekom, ktorý z času na čas poznamená, zdanlivo úplne vážne, že v prítomnosti mladých ľudí sa cíti mladý duchom. Je to pripustenie si reality stredného veku, čo ma dosť škrie, ale je to tak. Práve som sa vrátil z dvoch týždňov prednášok o katolíckej sociálnej náuke v Poľsku s asi tromi desiatkami mladých ľudí, ktorí mali väčšinou viac či menej po dvadsiatke.
Svetlo vo tmách svieti Keď stratíme z očí Boha, stratíme z očí aj seba
Základným referenčným bodom pre sebaporozumenie človeka je preto samotný Boh. Keď teda človek stratí Boha z očí, stráca z očí aj vlastnú ľudskosť. Je jasné, že toto je príbeh našej sekulárnej doby. A istým neurčito upokojujúcim spôsobom je to zjavne aj príbeh človeka. „Upokojujúcim“ hovorím v tom zmysle, že naše zlyhania sú len zriedka až také neobvyklé, ako si myslíme, čo znamená, že liek na ne je menej nedostupný, než by sme si inak mohli myslieť.
A Light Shines in the Darkness
Published April 30, 2026 The Catholic Thing God made man in His own image and likeness. God Himself, then, is the primary reference point for man’s self-understanding. Accordingly, when man loses sight of God, he loses sight of his own humanity. This is the story of our secular age writ large. It is also, in some vaguely reassuring sense, the story of man writ large.
DFW Kitchen Remodel: Spring Timing Guide Released for Homeowners
Legacy Contracting & Construction, LLC Logo Legacy Contracting & Construction, LLC releases spring timing guidance for Dallas-Fort Worth kitchen remodels. DALLAS-FORT WORTH, TX, UNITED STATES, March 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Legacy Contracting & Construction, LLC has released guidance addressing a critical planning challenge for Dallas-Fort Worth homeowners: determining the optimal timing to begin a kitchen remodel.

Published February 27, 2026 The Catholic Thing Lent is in full swing now. If you are like me, you enter this season full of determination and enthusiasm: My prayer will be deeper. My penance will be purer. My almsgiving will be richer. And may it well be so for all of us! But if you are like me, you also know that the Lenten journey doesn’t always finish with the same fervor with which it began.
Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show: Love, Puerto Rico, and the Politics of Inclusion
In this episode of The Last Mixed Tape, Stephen White breaks down Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show and the cultural meaning behind it. Far beyond spectacle, the performance became a statement about Puerto Rican identity, love as resistance, and the politics of inclusion on America’s biggest stage.
Ethics & Public Policy Center
Published January 23, 2026 The Catholic Thing One of the advantages of living in the suburbs of Washington DC – and, yes, there are some advantages – is that I am able to attend the March for Life almost every year. This year, while many would-be Marchers are wondering if their return flights are going to be cancelled by a massive winter storm, I have no such worries.
The evangelist in Stanley Prison
Published January 14, 2026 The Catholic World Report In a 1974 address to a group of lay Catholics, Pope Paul VI noted that “Modern man listens more willingly to witnesses than to teachers, and if he does listen to teachers, it is because they are witnesses”—an acute observation he later reiterated in his spiritual testament, the 1975 Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Nuntiandi (Announcing the Gospel).
Ethics & Public Policy Center
Published December 26, 2025 The Catholic Thing The history of salvation is long. It begins, as we read in Genesis, even before Creation itself. Before space and time were, God already was preparing all that would unfold. The ultimate culmination of that story is as yet unknown, though it has been revealed to us in part. Our own part in the story of salvation is unfolding every moment.
Why chauffeur mobility may be the silent force driving the UAE’s luxury travel to Europe
Europe is entering one of its strongest winter tourism seasons in recent years, driven in large part by an influx of affluent travellers from the UAE seeking restorative, high-touch experiences across the continent. Although often overlooked, the VIP chauffeur-driven industry, with its 30% rise in bookings this winter, marks a surge that directly correlates with the 22% increase in outbound travel from the UAE.
The Specials’ “Ghost Town”: How Lankum Reimagined a Protest Song for Modern Ireland | The Last Mixed Tape
Four decades after The Specials captured Britain’s collapse, now Irish folk collective Lankum have reimagined Ghost Town transforming it into a haunting reflection of modern Ireland. In this episode of The Last Mixed Tape, we trace Ghost Town’s journey from 1981’s Two-Tone rebellion to today’s Dublin exploring how music becomes a document of its time, from racial tension and working-class despair in Thatcher’s Britain to housing crises and far-right unrest in Ireland today.

Why Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show ANNOUNCEMENT Sparked Backlash
The announcement of Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show sparked a wave of backlash from ICE threats to pundits questioning whether he’s even “American.” The Puerto Rican artist will perform at the NFL’s Super Bowl LX halftime show in California on February 8th, 2026. In this episode of The Last Mixed Tape, Stephen White explores how Bad Bunny and Chappell Roan have become symbols in a new cultural resistance one where language, identity, and freedom of expression collide with a politics of fear.
Saif Bin Darwish acquires Gulf Precast
Saif Bin Darwish, one of the UAE’s most established construction and contracting companies, has announced the acquisition of Gulf Precast, the country’s largest manufacturer of precast concrete products.

Insurance risks emerge in agribusiness split entities
By Stephen White It is common in the agribusiness sector for operations to be structured across multiple entities. For example, with one entity employing staff, another conducting farming or processing operations, and a third holding land or equipment. This type of structure can offer clear benefits in terms of enterprise bargaining, risk allocation, and asset protection.
On the Feast of the Holy Guardian Angels
Published October 2, 2025 The Catholic Thing “Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God’s love commits me here. Ever this day be at my side, to light, to guard, to rule, and guide. Amen.” I don’t know how many times in my life I have prayed these words. Many thousands, no doubt. It was among the first prayers I ever learned, being part of the nightly routine of my childhood, and I have taught it to my own children as we say bedtime prayers.
Why Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights Is the Greatest Adaptation of Emily Brontë’s Novel
Emerald Fennell’s new Wuthering Heights film has already stirred controversy, but I want to make the case that the best adaptation of Emily Brontë’s gothic masterpiece already exists and it isn’t on screen. In 1978, an 18-year-old Kate Bush captured the wild, haunting atmosphere of the novel in just four minutes of music, creating a version of Wuthering Heights that has outlived almost every film and TV attempt.
ADNOC Distribution and Landmark Group launch region’s largest loyalty partnership
ADNOC Distribution, the UAE’s largest fuel and convenience retailer says its collaboration with Landmark Group to integrate their loyalty programs creates the region’s largest customer rewards alliance.

Faith, Friendships Flourish on the Street Where We Live
Published September 5, 2025 National Catholic Register There are eight houses on the little street where I live. They are modest houses, boxy colonials or little Cape Cods, built with three bedrooms and two bathrooms and small kitchens in the back. The houses were built in the years after the Second World War —built, that is, for the baby boom. They’re sturdy houses, but they’re aging now, and most of them need work.

Florence + The Machine Releases New Single “Everybody Scream” and Announces Album
Florence + The Machine is back with Everybody Scream, the first single from her upcoming album, Everybody Scream, set for release this Halloween. In this video, I dive into the song’s gothic sound, its themes of witchcraft and ritual, and how Florence continues to reclaim mystical imagery in her music. From Stevie Nicks to Kate Bush, from Irish folklore the witch has always been a powerful figure in music a symbol of independence, transformation, and rebellion.
U2’s Gaza Statement Compared to Sarajevo: Music and Protest Across Decades
In 1993, U2 used their stage to beam Sarajevo into the world during the Bosnian War. They gave space for civilians to speak under siege during their acclaimed ZooTV Tour. From that came ‘Miss Sarajevo’ with Luciano Pavarotti and one of the most powerful artistic responses to war. But in August 2025, when U2 spoke out on Gaza, their words told a different story, one that felt cautious, muted, and unwilling to hold power to account.
For Those I Love’s Carving the Stone Explores Grief, Class, and Toxic Masculinity in Modern Ireland | Album Review
If grief was the language of For Those I Love’s debut, Carving the Stone is its translation into the language of a nation. David Balfe returns after four years with an album that moves from the deeply personal into the generational, tackling grief, class, violence, toxic masculinity, and the systems that keep us trapped.
Volvo Cars signs recycled steel deal with SSAB
Volvo Cars has become the first car maker to sign a supply agreement for recycled, near zero-emissions steel for serial production deliveries having secured a new supply deal with Swedish steel firm SSAB. The agreement continues the enduring partnership between the two companies, predating the Swedish OEM’s sales to China’s Geely in 2010. The two companies said the purpose of the deal secures Volvo Cars’ position at forefront of the automotive industry’s transition to more sustainable steel.
Gemma Dunleavy’s Up De Flats at 5: Sheriff Street, Dublin’s Working-Class Voice, and the Fight Against Gentrification
Five years ago, Gemma Dunleavy released Up De Flats, an EP that did more than just tell her story. It told a place’s story. Sheriff Street. Dublin’s North Inner City. Communities flattened in headlines but still rising in rhythm. In this episode of The Last Mixed Tape, Stephen White reflects on the legacy of Up De Flats, what it meant then, and what it means now against a backdrop of ongoing redevelopment, class erasure, and cultural resistance.
The Death of Mainline Protestantism
Published August 1, 2025 First Things If Ernest Hemingway were to interview American mainline Protestantism in 2025, the conversation would go something like this: “How did you go spiritually bankrupt?” “Two ways. Gradually and then suddenly.” There seems little doubt that we are now approaching that second, sudden phase. The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) has this year closed its foreign mission agency.
In trade as in defence, the US is strong and the EU is weak
Published July 31, 2025 Brussels Signal The new US-EU trade deal has spawned a legion of critics who allege European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen cravenly capitulated in the face of American pressure. They would have known this was the likely outcome had they simply understood the teachings of an ancient Greek historian. Thucydides was an Athenian nobleman writing in the late 5th Century BC.
Atlas Copco's DrillAir portable air compressors and high pressure boosters support pipeline integrity in Romania

The new models are designed for optimized flexibility and maneuverability in tight workspaces.
Oasis Reunion: Why ‘Champagne Supernova’ Still Captures the Band at Their Peak
The Oasis reunion is no longer a rumour, it’s happening. With shows already underway in Manchester, Cardiff and soon Dublin’s Croke Park, fans are once again screaming Champagne Supernova like no time has passed. In this episode of The Last Mixed Tape, I revisit the song that captured Oasis on the edge of everything, before Be Here Now, before the implosion, before break-up and the 2025 reunion.

Viera Američanov | Zažíva tradičná latinská omša rozmach? | Postoj
Pew Research Center vydalo novú správu (slúžil som pri nej ako poradca), ktorá sa zameriava na život katolíkov v Spojených štátoch. Hlavné poučenie z tejto správy je, že takmer polovica dospelých Američanov má dôležitú väzbu na katolicizmus. Jeden z piatich Američanov (20 %) sa identifikuje ako katolík. Ďalších 9 percent Američanov uvádza, že sú katolíkmi kultúrne, ale nie nábožensky. Rovnaký počet (9 %) hovorí, že sú bývalí katolíci.
The Flawed System of Sexual Abuse Settlements
Published July 4, 2025 First Things There was a window from the late 1980s through the early 2000s when the sex abuse of minors seemed to be a predominantly Catholic Church problem. At least in the United States, that delusion is now dead. On June 17, the Wall Street Journal reported that sex abuse claims against the Boy Scouts of America, totaling some 60,000, now exceed $7 billion in value.
The Supreme Court Brings Real-World Limits to the Virtual World
Published June 27, 2025 National Review Online Adults in America accept limits every day on their access to certain products or activities for the sake of protecting children. They must verify their age to purchase alcohol or tobacco. They must go through a process of proving their identity and meeting certain licensing requirements in order to own and operate a firearm or drive a car.
Iowa Starts the Work of Turning Public Opinion on Abortion
Published July 3, 2025 National Review Online Pro-life advocates haven’t had much good news in recent years, as pro-abortion-rights measures have repeatedly passed, even in usually Republican states. They should take heart, however, from a new Iowa law that could help start to turn public opinion in a pro-life direction. That law requires schools to show students in grades five to twelve a video or ultrasound that depicts each stage of fetal development.
