When we’re talking about (and reading about) coronavirus nonstop, we’re perpetuating a culture of anxiety that only suppresses

Anxiety-ridden, confused, refusing to use capital letters. These adjectives could describe the average college student, or they could describe the second album released by Meg Duffy’s Hand Habits: “placeholder.” Available since early March, the project continues Duffy’s exploration of vulnerability that began with their first release, “Wildly Idle (Humble Before the Void).” Hand Habits’ characteristic

Vance Joy is no longer the same starry-eyed boy “scared of dentists and the dark,” as he describes himself on his recently-released sophomore album, “Nation of Two.” The Australian singer-songwriter maintains his signature acoustic simplicity and combines it with unique, personal narratives to craft songs that stand out for their upbeat, infectious sound and light,

However, our

During Wednesday night’s installment of Saint Mary’s Theology on Fire lecture series, Katherine Elliot explored pornography’s impact on relationships. Elliot, who holds a Ph.D. in theology from Notre Dame, said pornography separates us from God’s gift of genuine sexual relationships. “Sex is a gift from God, but only when it happens in a context of mutual
