CWR Interview with Andrew Nash
“I think it’s important for Catholics today to appreciate that we have a great literary heritage,” says educator and filmmaker Andrew Nash, “that there are writers who are as good as—in Hopkins’ case much better than—famous non-Catholic writers, like Wordsworth, that we’ve all heard of.”

True Friend of the Church?
It’s a testament to the late Rabbi Sacks’s intellectual generosity and honesty that his challenge to the standard Catholic account of faith and reason often ends up reading as a lament for its loss.
— Sohrab Ahmari (@SohrabAhmari) December 9, 2020
May his memory be for a blessing.
My latest. https://t.co/Zu4EHtemv8
The challenge was serious, to be clear. The God of the Bible, Sacks contended, was lost in the bargain of Saint Paul’s ambition to spread his newfound faith to the Greco-Roman sphere. More to the point, God was lost in translation. The Greek language, with its left-to-right script, per Sacks, tends toward abstraction and universalization, whereas Hebrew is fundamentally a “right-brained” language, tending toward narrative and particularity. The result was that the West received an abstract, theoretical version of a supremely narrativistic deity.
The Hebrew Bible, Sacks believed, has no “theory” of being itself, of natural law or of political regimes. What it does offer are stories that deal with things like creation, morality, and politics “from multiple perspectives, at a level of subtlety and ambiguity closer to literature” than philosophy. The synthesis—the attempt to Hellenize the Bible and the teachings of Jesus—was an imposition, in Sacks’s view. And it was precisely because the God of the philosophers was so distant and inaccessible, Sacks thought, that the early Church had to posit a God-man as man’s bridge to God.
Sacks was, in truth, a pure anti-metaphysicist. In his 2011 book, The Great Partnership: Science, Religion and the Search for Meaning, he declared: “We cannot prove that life is meaningful and that God exists.” As a philosophy undergraduate at Cambridge, he recounted, he was thrilled by his atheist teachers’ demolition of the classical proofs for God, which he’d always considered a kind of cheap sleight of hand.
Does Western rationalism find its source in medieval scholasticism, after the state had started to rebel against Christendom and the intellectual elites starte do capture that intellectual institution of Christendom, the university? Or is it more a problem of practical atheism spreading thanks to mass culture and the agency of the elites? Blaming St. Paul is really a cheap shot, since St. Paul himself would repeat that the Christian Mystery is the summit of salvation history and God's relationship with His people. And such a Christianity does exist, even if it is obscured by other things, in the Christian East. So how much of an ally was Rabbi Sacks, as opposed to being an advocate of Judaism in what is left of a Christian society?

Excerpt from the Di Dongsheng Interview
Not infrequently, the view from outside gives you better insight into what is going on inside. The U.S. today is a unique form of liberal oligarchy that was disrupted by a momentary burst of democracy. The elite made sure to roll that back - amusingly, in the name of “democracy.” https://t.co/qhOmgsTmVD
