  Catholics and Contempt - How...

  The culture of contempt—the lust to wound perceived opponents who are seen not just as wrong but as evil—has become global in scope. Fed by the rise of “cheap speech” in media, seismic shifts in digital technology, and a boom industry based on selling outrage, people are increasingly unable to understand, much less dialogue with, their ideological rivals. The Catholic Church understands itself as the evangelizer of culture; yet this culture of contempt has evangelized much of the Church. A distressing range of Catholic media platforms and commentators have introduced the poison of contempt into the heart of Catholic life—and with exacting fidelity. In this timely and important new book, Vatican journalist and Crux Editor John L. Allen Jr. offers a bracing analysis of our fractured Catholic media landscape. Examining six case studies of the culture of contempt wounding the Church—four from around the globe, and two from the United States—Allen offers not only a sobering look at the direction Catholic media has headed, but an urgent call for it to change course.

  Screen Damage - The Dangers of...

  All forms of recreational digital consumption—whether on smartphones, tablets, game consoles, or TVs—have skyrocketed in the younger generations. From the age of two, children in the West clock up more than 2.5 hours of screen time a day; by the time they reach thirteen, it's more than seven hours a day. Added up over the first eighteen years of life, this is the equivalent of almost thirty school years, or fifteen years of full-time employment. 
   
   
   
  Most media experts do not seem overly concerned about this situation: children are adaptable, they say, they are "digital natives," their brains have changed and screens make them smarter. But other specialists—including some pediatricians, psychiatrists, teachers, and speech therapists—dispute these claims, and many parents worry about the long-term consequences of their children's intensive exposure to screens. 
   
   
   
  Michel Desmurget, a leading neuroscientist, has carefully weighed up the scientific evidence concerning the impact of the digital activities of our children and adolescents, and his assessment does not make for happy listening: he shows that these activities have significant detrimental consequences in terms of the health, behavior, and intellectual abilities of young people, and strongly affect their academic outcomes.

  The Indonesian Famine of...

  The conclusion of World War II marked a pivotal turning point in Indonesia’s history. As the Japanese forces surrendered in August 1945, the vacuum left behind in their wake exposed the fragility of colonial and wartime institutions. Indonesia, long under Dutch colonial rule and occupied by Japan since 1942, was suddenly thrust into a state of political and administrative chaos. The power void that followed the Japanese capitulation was quickly filled by nationalist fervor, culminating in the proclamation of Indonesian independence on August 17, 1945. However, the declaration did not result in immediate recognition or control. Instead, the country found itself caught between competing powers and clashing agendas. 
  The collapse of Japanese administrative structures left the newly proclaimed Republic of Indonesia struggling to assert its legitimacy. Republican leaders, including Sukarno and Mohammad Hatta, faced the monumental task of organizing a new government while also managing the fallout of war. Meanwhile, Dutch authorities, with Allied support, sought to re-establish their colonial presence. This led to violent confrontations and widespread instability, as various factions—including local militias, former Japanese-trained troops, and returning colonial forces—vied for control over towns, supply routes, and administrative posts. 
  The disintegration of centralized governance had far-reaching consequences. Essential services, including food distribution and public health, were severely disrupted. The chaos was further compounded by a breakdown in communication lines and transportation infrastructure, much of which had been damaged during the war or repurposed by occupying forces. With no clear authority in many regions, local leaders and grassroots organizations were left to manage crises as best they could, often with limited resources and no coordination.
