"Remembrance of Death" Can Overcome "Death Obsession"

Wesley J. Smith

Instead of fixating on “controlling the time and manner of our death,” or escaping the fact of our death in frivolous or Quixotic pursuits, we can let our sure end be our inspiration to live positive, worthy, and meaningful lives until that time when “there is no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

Orthodox Bio-Ethicist: Assisted Suicide Increases Other Suicides

Orthodox Bio-Ethicist: Science Does Too Know When "Human Life" Begins

Wesley J. Smith

The pro-abortion side generally proclaims the mantle of pro-science, while castigating their opponents as ideological or theocratic. I have found the opposite is true.

The Joy of Orthodox Pascha

Wesley J. Smith

“Pascha?” I asked. “What’s Pascha?”The man chuckled and said, “You know it as Easter.” He then spent ten minutes explaining why “Pascha”—the “new Passover” by which the entire human race passes from slavery to freedom under Christ—should replace “Easter” as the favored term for the celebration of Christ’s Resurrection.

Fr. George Calciu: First Century Christian in the Twentieth Century

Wesley J. Smith

Fr. George and his family lived quietly until the communist government renewed its assault on faith. Heeding what he considered a divine call to speak out sacrificially, he offered seven homilies to young Romanians, one homily building on the next during each Wednesday of Lent. It was a rare moment of courage for 1978 Romania: When the church was closed to him by his terrified Patriarch, he preached from its steps. When the gates were locked, the growing audience of youth defiantly climbed the fence to hear him.
