The Eight Stages of the Rise and Fall of Civilizations by Msgr. Charles Pope
Sadly, the piece by Msgr. Pope is reflective of the American Catholic intellectual class - little awareness of the role of the state (in conjunction with the oligarchs they may actually recognize) in the centralization of power and the destruction of community and tradition, and a failure to name the radical ideologies and movements, like liberalism and feminism, that have been used to supplant tradition. No prominent Catholic is going to name feminism as a problem that needs to be solved, and as a factor in the decline of the United States.
Msgr. Pope should read Sir John Glubb.
