A Liberal Academic Grapples with Solzhenitsyn

... tries to save liberalism and can't. And for some reason he can't admit Christianity (not "faith") is foundational to Western culture and identity.

Quillette (where else?)

Great insight. Jews are a cohesive group based more on ancestry, history and culture (and persecution) than creed. My dad was a Jewish atheist, and every Jew gets what that means. Christianity is primarily creedal. It transcends culture. I don’t know any Christian atheists.

Are we to have no heroes?

Read some disturbing allegations against Fr. Marie-Dominique Philippe, O.P. Having seen no evidence to back up the charge or heard the testimony of supposed witnesses, how can I not be skeptical? Was an investigation launched by the local ordinary, his Dominican superiors, or Rome? Those who came out against Fr. Maciel approached various authorities. (And remember, he was also investigated in the 50s.) Is this true of former members of the Community of St. John?
