It often appears that Pope Francis’s Vatican is trying to abolish free markets. Since the beginning of his pontificate, Francis has used biblical language about helping one’s neighbor and caring for the poor. However, he wrenches those phrases out of their proper contexts, as determined by Church teaching - developed over centuries. Like many modern-day leftists, Pope Francis is not primarily interested in improving people’s lives, but in making them equally miserable.

Our social fabric sustained much damage during Two Thousand Twenty. Leftists successfully used the Covid crisis to take control over many aspects of our lives that would have been impossible under normal circumstances. The political process grew even more polarized than it was previously. Antifa and BLM dominated the national conversation, spreading a new racism under an “anti-racist” banner. The education system all but closed down. The Return to Order Moment is not going to make specific predictions about 2021. We can, however, look to the years ahead and make solid suggestions for whatever does come.

The Return to Order Moment offers our listeners a Christmas gift, a selection from a wonderful book, Bethlehem by Father Frederick Faber. In a sense, this is a love letter to the Holy Family. Please enjoy our little gift and have a Blessed and Merry Christmas!
The Covid virus has seriously affected – and sometimes eliminated – many familiar holiday customs. This episode of the Return to Order Moment is offering three reflections on the holidays, all by Mr. John Horvat. He considers Thanksgiving, Advent, and Christmas in light of the virus.

Western Culture is broken and disrespected, even in the countries that have benefitted most from Western cultural institutions. These articles support the idea that the source and fullest development of Western culture is the Roman Catholic Church. Only rediscovering and living out Catholic culture can Western culture be restored and improved. Those who wish to read Professor Correa de Olivera's article can find it at https://www.tfp.org/magazines/crusade_mag_vol_52.pdf, beginning on page 23.

After decades of intense effort to destroy society, the leftists are now telling us that it is time to come together. This episide considers three of the many ways that the left has tried to destroy the family. First, they promoted fatherlessness and then deny that it is a problem. Second, the feminist movement has demeaned the crucial role of intact families on future generations. Third, the left promotes pseudo-science in their attempts to cast confusion about the nature of man and women.

This episode of the Return to Order Moment looks at Man’s Oldest Enemy – Satan. Many of our notions about Satan and his diabolic realm are untrue, and even foolish. At the same time, many arrogant modern men are unlikely to think about Satan at all. This article presents Satan as the Church’s universal traditions depict him.

"Ostpolitik" is a term used to describe the Vatican's conciliatory policy toward the Soviet Union in the 1960s and 1970s. It was disastrous. Unfortunately, the Vatican is trying the policy again in relationship to Communist China - in effect sacrificing loyal Chinese Catholics to Pope Francis's Socialist inclinations.

The triple crisis of COVID-19, civil unrest, and economic disaster is now shaking the West’s spiritual and material foundations and the world. This is no ordinary crisis since it questions our time-worn certainties, changes our daily lives, and restricts Church freedom. In the face of this crisis, many are stunned and wonder what went wrong. Where is the West headed? Is it possible to avoid the approaching chaos?
