Culture counts. It is not everything‚ but it is often the most important influence‚ whether in an organization or a corporation or a nation. I spent some time in Japan on business‚ and I loved the culture of precision‚ efficiency‚ care‚ and self-sacrifice‚ replete with an insistence on finding the natural beauty wherever it is. I knew I didn’t dare come to the station a minute late for my train—I’d see it departing as I would be running up the stairs. Not like my Amtrak experiences‚ where the only question was how late the train would be. And they will not be there on the receiving end when the next obscene incursion inevitably pours forth. I could rely on people paying attention‚ whether it was the desk clerk that left her post at the hotel to help me get my bags down to the train platform across the street‚ and refused to take a tip; or the driver who saw me walking down a street in Hiroshima looking for my errant hotel‚ who saw my lost look‚ offered his help‚ and drove me to my lodgings. (READ MORE from Shmuel Klatzkin: The Eclipse Transcends Politics and Division) I can rely on my Toyota Corolla that I bought new in 2007 and now has over 600k miles on it. These things are in the culture. There were other things in that culture that were prominent eight decades ago—aggression‚ cruelty‚ and a disregard for life—especially that of nationalities they considered lesser than their own. They made the Japanese formidable warriors and it made them cruel masters. The Rape of Nanking is a brutal chapter in history; their making sex slaves of thousands of Korean women was horrific. Their cruelty to prisoners of war is infamous. The goal of the nations Japan attacked in World War II was not just to turn Japan back and get it to give back conquered territory. It was also to obliterate its war machine and to remake its culture. Here General Douglas MacArthur had the greatest success of his career. I could feel the result and I admire the culture today. The utopians running American foreign policy feel that people are infinitely malleable and that there are no real constraints on people that can stop them from being perfect. No need to pay attention to culture—if we can imagine a place for them in our thought‚ that’s good enough. The problem is that most empowered utopians really don’t want to suffer the consequences of their policies‚ and they don’t much care about those little people to whom those consequences are exclusively diverted. And so they ignore culture. Their utopian program will fix everything and is to be instituted without any thought of the beliefs‚ attitudes‚ goals‚ or behavior of the people they are fixing. But if there is one thing the deeply committed people know‚ it is how to outlast trends in thought and politics. They think long-term. Whether it is a religion of life or a cult of death‚ they make plans to survive til their opportunity arises. Thus Hamas waited out the trendiness of the utopians in Israel and the U.S.‚ knowing it would bring them an opportunity to do what is at the core of their religious commitment—bring death to Israel and‚ they hope‚ to the United States. That is their culture‚ which they inculcate from the earliest childhood years. For the West‚ they  make videos of suffering as a consequence of the war they start. On their own media‚ in their own language‚ though‚ they are explicit about their deadly aims‚ with mothers and grandmothers urging their offspring to become martyrs‚ so long as they can kill some Jews. (READ MORE: A Political Movement Upends the Word ‘Genocide’) Our Utopians at Foggy Bottom pay no attention. They want the outer trappings of peace‚ They do not have to live next door to the rump of Hamas whose survival they guarantee. So what if another 10‚000 rockets fall on Israel. You won’t hear them squawk as they did at Israel’s prosecuting its war against Hamas’ army of rapists. And they will not be there on the receiving end when the next obscene incursion inevitably pours forth. They won’t pay much attention. They care more about their own pristine dream.

Nearly 60 years ago‚ the renowned prose stylist and infamous Catholic convert Evelyn Waugh passed away. On Easter Sunday (April 10) 1966‚ after attending a soon-to-be-banned Tridentine Mass‚ Waugh met his ignominious fate in the lavatory‚ reportedly having suffered a coronary thrombosis. He left behind a devoted wife‚ seven children‚ 14 novels‚ about two dozen short stories‚ seven volumes of travel writing (including one detailing his time as a war correspondent in Africa)‚ three biographies (of artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti‚ martyred Saint Edmund Campion‚ and English priest ad author Ronald Knox)‚ countless letters‚ and a legacy of wit‚ wisdom‚ and (sometimes begrudging) faithfulness to the Catholic Church. “The Church‚” Waugh once wrote‚ “is the normal state of man from which men have disastrously exiled themselves.” Although he was born nearly 121 years ago and died nearly 60 years ago‚ Waugh’s life is one filled with lessons for Catholics today. Indeed‚ one of the many reasons his works are considered enduring classics is not just the author’s biting wit‚ cast of colorful characters‚ and soaring‚ often elegiac writing style — though‚ of course‚ those are all reasons in themselves — but the wisdom he evinced in facing many of the same challenges‚ questions‚ and even crises that Catholics face today. (READ MORE from S.A. McCarthy: DC Cardinal Surprisingly Praises Pope Francis on LGBT Issues) Raised in the Church of England‚ the bright and bullying Waugh was an ardent agnostic by the age of fifteen. He quickly added hedonism to his spiritual resum&;eacute;‚ alongside agnosticism‚ and his time at Oxford University was spent drinking heavily‚ dabbling in homosexuality‚ and leading a lifestyle that would have been considered outlandish even by the more whimsical standards of 1920s English university life. As one can imagine‚ hosting debauched costume parties that culminated in orgies in chartered hearses was not conducive to study‚ and Waugh was eventually forced to leave the University after achieving one poor grade too many. The budding author took up a position as a schoolmaster at a dilapidated boarding school in Wales and‚ missing his friends and his hard-partying Oxford social life‚ attempted suicide. He left his clothes neatly folded on the beach and walked into the ocean‚ preparing to drown himself. Fortunately‚ God almighty had had the foresight to create jellyfish‚ a swarm of which turned Waugh back to the beach. The comic novel Decline and Fall was based on Waugh’s experiences as a schoolteacher and won him both fame and fortune. He courted and was briefly married to Evelyn Gardner (they’re friends called the duo “He-velyn and She-velyn”)‚ but that marriage ended acrimoniously when she proved unfaithful to her husband and unwilling to attempt to salvage the marriage. Faced with this devastating blow‚ Waugh chose not suicide‚ having failed in that endeavor once already‚ but a new home: the Catholic Church. Waugh’s conversion to Catholicism in 1930 was controversial. His father‚ a devout Anglican‚ referred to it as his son’s “perversion to Rome.” As most in his generation were embracing nihilism and atheism spiritually and turning to socialism and progressivism politically‚ the up-and-coming literary star Waugh bucked the trend‚ looking not to the nebulous “future‚” but to eternity. Having experienced himself the disastrous results of the madness of the modern age‚ Waugh wrote of his conversion‚ “The trouble about the world today is that there’s not enough religion in it. There’s nothing to stop young people doing whatever they feel like doing at the moment.” For Waugh‚ Catholicism represented order‚ in stark contrast to the political‚ philosophical‚ and social chaos of his age. He saw the Catholic Church not as some ideology that happened to align with his own sentiments‚ but as an institution of spiritual and moral order to which he would have to subject himself. Jesuit Fr. Martin D’Arcy‚ who oversaw Waugh’s conversion and became his spiritual mentor‚ wrote‚ “I have never myself met a convert who so strongly based his assents on truth.” This is the first lesson we can learn from Waugh: endurance in faith. Like St. Thomas Aquinas some 700 years prior‚ Waugh believed the Catholic Church to be the ultimate force of logic and reason operative in the world. Unlike many of his contemporaries‚ Waugh admitted that the Church was‚ in fact‚ more reasonable than he‚ and thus submitted to her doctrines. When asked in an interview‚ 30 years after his conversion‚ if he had any doubts about God or the truth of Catholicism‚ a by-then aged and bloated Waugh bluntly responded‚ “No.” Waugh’s faith was evident in his unquestioning submission to the Catholic Church. After the dissolution of his first marriage with Gardner‚ Waugh waited patiently for an annulment. The process reportedly took years longer than was the norm‚ and Waugh did much in that time to publicly demonstrate his devotion the Catholic Church‚ including writing his biography of Edmund Campion‚ for which he was awarded the prestigious Hawthornden Prize. When his annulment was finally granted‚ Waugh was asked why he didn’t badger and pester the Vatican courts — his paperwork had apparently been misplaced‚ accounting for the delay. The convert simply replied that he didn’t know how long an annulment should take and was willing to wait however long the Church required. (READ MORE: Dawkins and the Frankenstein’s Monster of Atheism) This episode is reminiscent of St. Patrick’s baptism of the King of Cashel. According to legend‚ Patrick accidentally pierced the king’s foot with his bishop’s crozier. The Saint was unaware of having done so and the king bit his tongue. When Patrick realized that he had stabbed the king’s foot‚ he asked why the Irishman did not cry out in pain. The king simply replied that he thought it was part of the baptism ritual and was thus willing to suffer it. Waugh’s chief difficulty with Catholicism was in conforming his will to the moral precepts of the Church — somewhat ironically‚ given that the stringent moral code of the Church is one of the chief attractions that sparked his conversion in the first place. For much of his life‚ Waugh was something of a bully. He delighted in baffling‚ teasing‚ and even tormenting others. Much of the time‚ this took the form of practical jokes that he alone found amusing. One biographer tells of the time that Waugh hosted a (white) guest named Moor. The author made repeated references to jazz and “negro culture‚” which his wife later explained was simply a pun on the guest’s surname. However‚ Waugh had a cruel streak‚ and he struggled to reconcile this with the charity demanded by the Church. In one infamous instance‚ Waugh’s bullying caused a young woman to leave a party in tears. His friend Nancy Mitford asked him how he could possibly be so callous and still call himself a Catholic. The bully par excellence responded with both wit and a strange sort of humility‚ “You have no idea how much nastier I would be if I was not a Catholic. Without supernatural aid I would hardly be a human being.” It takes a great deal of faith to admit that you are‚ in fact‚ a wretch in need of aid. But Waugh did exercise charity. While serving as a commando in World War II‚ alongside Randolph Churchill‚ Waugh rescued many persecuted Jews in war-torn Yugoslavia‚ offering financial assistance and making sure that many were able to escape the brutalities of both the Nazis and the communist revolutionaries led by Marshal Tito. Waugh also managed to write up reports for the British Foreign Office and Pope Pius XII on the persecution of Yugoslav Catholics under the communists. “The Church‚” Waugh once wrote‚ “is the normal state of man from which men have disastrously exiled themselves.” Over the course of his life‚ Waugh sought to return to that “normal state of man” and end both his earthly and spiritual “exile‚” amid an age of rapidly shifting political standards and rapidly decaying moral codes. The second lesson we may learn from Waugh is to never abandon the Church in her time of need. When Waugh converted in 1930‚ the Tridentine Mass was then the norm in the Church. He fell in love with the order‚ the majesty‚ and the symbolism of the Mass‚ finding there the link between the temporal order and the Kingdom of Heaven. In the 1960s‚ under Pope St. Paul VI and the “reforms” of the Second Vatican Council‚ the Tridentine Mass was reconsidered and revised‚ and Waugh began to fear that the solemn and sacred grandeur of the Mass which brough him to Rome might be diluted‚ damaged‚ or altogether discarded. He wrote‚ on behalf of the laity: We hold the creeds‚ we attempt to observe the moral law‚ we go to Mass on days of obligation and glance rather often at the vernacular translations of the Latin…. We go to some inconvenience to educate our children in the Faith…. In every age we have formed the main body of “the faithful‚” and we believe that it was for us‚ as much as for the saints and for the notorious sinners‚ that the Church was founded. In a series of letters‚ Waugh expressed his concerns to his bishop‚ Cardinal John Carmel Heenan of Westminster. He was worried that the role of the priest would be diminished in an effort to make the laity feel more empowered and that‚ in an attempt to encourage the laity to participate more vocally in the Mass‚ their spiritual participation might be forgotten. He considered the introduction of the vernacular into the Mass to be an unnecessary diminution of the mystical nature of Christ’s sacrifice: This was the Mass for whose restoration the Elizabethan martyrs had gone to the scaffold. Saint Augustine‚ St. Thomas &;agrave; Becket‚ St. Thomas More‚ Challoner and Newman would have been perfectly at their ease among us; were‚ in fact‚ present there with us…. Their presence would not have been more palpable had we been making the responses aloud in the modern fashion. He wrote that the slow disappearance of the Tridentine Mass “leaves me without comfort or edification. I shall never‚ pray God‚ apostatize but churchgoing is now a bitter trial.” Had Waugh been told that some forty years later‚ the late Pope Benedict XVI would once again promulgate the Mass of the ages with his motu proprio Summorum pontificum‚ the convert would have no doubt taken comfort. But since Pope Francis’s motu proprio Traditionis custodes has restricted celebration of the Tridentine Mass‚ perhaps we may take some comfort from Waugh’s example of humble grumbling and longsuffering. The final lesson we might learn from Waugh is to focus our attentions and our energies on that which really matters. Despite his commercial and critical successes and his relatively opulent lifestyle‚ Waugh’s chief focus was on eternity. He recognized the truth which Christ spoke in the Gospel: “[S]tore up treasures in heaven‚ where neither moth nor decay destroys‚ nor thieves break in and steal. For where your treasure is‚ there also will your heart be” (Matthew 6:20-21). He thus built his treasure not on bookshelves nor in his (rather expansive) wardrobe‚ but in his family‚ the souls entrusted to his care. (READ MORE: American Catholics Back Trump Over Biden) In the final interview he granted before his death‚ Waugh was asked if he believed God put him on earth to be a writer. Waugh responded that he believed God had given him a particular talent or penchant for writing‚ but that writing was not his purpose. Instead‚ he explained‚ his literary talents were given to him as a means of supporting his true purpose: “My service is simply to bring up one family.” Waugh’s family life wasn’t always easy — he and his wife lost one of their seven children in infancy‚ and Waugh often struggled to express affection for his children. But he worked hard‚ often writing thousands of words per day‚ to provide for his wife and children. He went to great expense to ensure his children were not just educated well but educated Catholic. And his children learned that their father didn’t necessarily fail to show them constant affection but rather fought hard to be charitable to mankind in general‚ and succeeded best with his wife and children. Today‚ Waugh is best remembered as a talented author‚ a grouchy reactionary‚ a vicious wit‚ and a devout Catholic. Perhaps that is not a bad legacy to leave behind.

WASHINGTON — Nineteen Republicans joined House Democrats on Wednesday to defeat a measure to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act‚ the law that enables the federal government to spy on foreigners abroad. The procedural rule was blocked by a vote of 193-228. You would think that after its sordid misdeeds came to light‚ the FBI would have cleaned up its act. The world is changing. It’s a sad moment for the country when you consider how‚ after the 9/11 attacks‚ Americans stood behind efforts to allow the intelligence community access to said communications in the belief that spy craft would be used to protect Americans from hostile national security rivals. And now all of that is melting. (READ MORE from Debra J. Saunders: Biden’s Loan Amnesty Passes the Buck) For years after 9/11‚ conservatives at least could be counted on to champion the intelligence establishment‚ while Democrats were more likely to question their methods. Then came the 2016 election and Donald Trump’s victory. But then‚ in January 2017‚ before Trump took the oath of office‚ BuzzFeed News ran what was peddled as a “dossier” of dirt that Russia was supposed to have put together on Trump. Problem: It wasn’t true. It turned out Democrats paid for the dossier. Later‚ America learned that the FBI had spied on Carter Page‚ who was an unpaid adviser to the Trump campaign. Awkward. The FBI is not supposed to get involved in politics. You would think that after its sordid misdeeds came to light‚ the FBI would have cleaned up its act. But then last year The Washington Post reported that in 2020 and 2021‚ the FBI wrongly tapped the government’s monster database more than 278‚000 times. As the Post has detailed‚ federal law enforcement searches targeted Jan. 6 suspects‚ activists arrested after the killing of George Floyd and 19‚000 donors to a congressional candidate who was challenging an incumbent. Even Rep. Darin LaHood‚ R-Ill.‚ learned that he was a target. (Some of these revelations make you wonder how much free time agents have on their hands. Don’t they have something better to do&;#63;) My instincts lean toward renewing the authority. The White House has warned that requiring a warrant for these data searches can take weeks. That would put me in the same neighborhood as President Joe Biden‚ national security adviser Jake Sullivan‚ and House Speaker Mike Johnson. But once Trump chimed in against the 702 extension‚ the partial GOP cave-in was sealed. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene‚ R-Ga.‚ was one of the 19 Republicans who took the opposite stance. “Speaker Mike Johnson is urging members to reauthorize FISA after President Trump said: KILL FISA. It’s like asking the Deep State to hold itself accountable after it has abused the American people’s trust‚” she posted on social media. Actually‚ Johnson was standing up for what he thought was right. I don’t trust MTG‚ but I do understand conservatives’ distrust of what Trump calls the “deep state.” Too many times those who are supposed to serve the public act as if they own the government. In this case‚ the FBI was caught red-handed but did not reform. (READ MORE: Border Is Big Issue for 2024) That’s the kind of arrogance that leads voters to lean toward politicians who don’t want to govern‚ but just want to get on cable news. There is no one left to trust. So China‚ Russia‚ and Iran can take a victory lap. Contact Review-Journal Washington columnist Debra J. Saunders at dsaunders@reviewjournal.com.
