Culture Wars Magazine has been reporting from the front lines of the social, political and cultural battles in America and the West for over 35 years. Culture Wars seeks to educate people on modern systems of Cultural Warfare and how this new kind of warfare has advanced the interests of the American Empire and its systems of political control.
Canadians will be surprised to hear their country does not actually guarantee fundamental liberties like freedom of speech, freedom of association, and freedom of religion. My country, after all, repatriated its constitution from Great Britain in 1982 and took the opportunity to have Westminster add a Charter of Rights of Freedoms, which certainly seems to guarantee these basic rights.
Read MoreOn March 5, 1980 I was received by a Jesuit priest into the Catholic Church. I had always had a great regard for the Jesuit Order. This was probably, I now see, because I read a great deal of the Jesuit history that took place during the English Reformation. Subsequently I wrote two books on converts. One of them, having the unimaginative title of Roads to Rome, dealt with notable converts from Great Britain and Ireland. A goodly number of the converts described were either heavily influenced by Jesuits and/or later on became Jesuits themselves. In fact, one of the publisher’s most experienced proof readers, known to me only as “Cathy,” went so far as to write the following in her report, making reference to men, most of whom were Jesuits:
Read MoreOnce again, a sudden gain by a minority party is being hailed as a landslide victory – even though it is nothing of the sort. A cursory glance at the election results makes it clear that the numbers don’t add up: Sinn Féin now has 37 seats, one less than Fianna Fail and two more than Fine Gael. So the boring old middle-of-the-road Establishment parties, who have been in power since the foundation of the State and spent the past four years in a symbiotic “Confidence & Supply” relationship, have fifty percent of the vote. This figure, coupled with the widespread, publicly expressed disillusionment with the Government, implies that the vote for Sinn Féin was merely a protest vote – and that a cautious 50 percent of voters actually voted against Sinn Féin.
Read MoreThis is the most important book of the twenty-first century. E. Michael Jones has thrown down an intellectual gauntlet that cannot honorably be ignored. He has written the definitive defense of logos, and for half a century anti-logocentrism has been the veritable shibboleth of the cultural left. […] Many intellectuals who consider themselves cultural leftists will be tempted simply to ignore this book and hope that it goes away. That would be a very bad mistake. The ideas it expresses will not disperse if ignored; they will gather and spread rapidly.
Read MoreIn July, 2018, just two months after Ireland voted three-to-one to legalize abortion, something happened that puzzled the national media (the cultural cognoscenti), all the main political parties, most of the elected independents, the civil service including the forces of law and order – indeed the entire spectrum of mainstream Irish life. The Establishment was basking in the afterglow of “Repeal” by which they meant not just the repeal of the Eighth Amendment of the Irish Constitution protecting the life of the unborn; the word had been adopted as a mantra, a totem, a cultural term and even the title of a book.
Read MoreIt was once known as the Isle of Saints and scholars, a title it proudly held for 1,500 years. But now Ireland has embraced a different kind of Pride: the rainbow-flag waving, Shout-Your-Abortion kind. And the learned Holy men have been replaced by witches’n’warlocks who would not look out of place in a 1970s Hammer House of Horror movie – though it would be a Hate Crime to say so.
Read MoreReading The Shortest Way Home, I found myself searching for literary models that might have influenced the author, who is also mayor of South Bend, Indiana, where I happen to live. The connections between me and the mayor of South Bend are actually closer than just living in the same city at the same time. The author grew up three houses down from where I have lived for the past 40 years and spent his entire life up to his 18th year in close proximity to me and, more importantly, to my five children. He is ten years younger than my oldest child, with whom he shares a remarkably similar educational trajectory. Both he and my son attended St. Joseph’s High School, roughly half a mile north of where we live. Both trod the same path to high school every day. Both ended up first in their respective classes, becoming valedictorians, which entitled them to speak at their respective graduations. And both then went on to attend Harvard University.
Read MoreHow far will the homosexual movement go? Gay marriage, gay adoption, Christians forced to provide services for gay weddings, transgender bathrooms, sex-ed for kids, a panoply of gay characters on TV and in movies, perfectly groomed, impeccably dressed, charming, and reciting all the best lines. Why it’s enough to make your kid wish he were gay!
Read MoreFrench sociologist Pierre Bourdieu said that to point out the social conditions and material interests underlying cultural values and modes is to “transgress… one of the fundamental taboos of the intellectual world.” To make such a transgression one is likely to be condemned as sacrilegious in the “attempt to treat culture, that present incarnation of the sacred, as an object of science.”
Read MoreI suppose I have to understand it as the victory of the new electronic media over the old paper magazines like the one you’re currently reading. Because in these very pages, I discussed the Acton Institute’s president, Father Robert Sirico’s history in the space of a long article and nobody jumped. But when I did repeat these findings on my blog in cyberspace it caused two noted Catholic web authors to arrange a pie-eating contest at a restaurant in Kalamazoo, Michigan during June, 2006 at which Catholic acceptance of laissez faire economics and denouncing, while sitting across from the famous cleric who leads the Acton Institute. Judging from the girth of the two noted Catholic bloggers, one a local priest of the Kalamazoo diocese and the other a noted layman from Seattle, I suspect the photo must have been taken with a wide angle lens. Maybe no one reacted because people in eastern Pennsylvania are too subtle in their writings, leaving the readers to draw their own conclusions, when compared to folks out near Pittsburgh who call a spade a spade. In this instance, Randy Engel, who lives near Pittsburgh, asked the Vatican to investigate how a onetime gay activist can be ordained a Catholic priest and then maneuver from religious life to at least two dioceses to become the founder of an institute devoted to the advancement of free-market economic theories explicitly condemned by various popes.
