It's Not Either/Or
Dreher's series on Spain published while he has been on his book tour there Has been interesting. But why should European Christians be resigned to the long defeat at a political level? European Christians can rebuild their local churches and embrace ethnonationalism and act accordingly at the political level. But Rod Dreher will never support the latter.

C.S. Lewis and Aristotle on Civic Friendship by Micah Watson
Apparently Professor Watson didn't read that part of the Nicomachean Ethics in which Aristotle explicitly talks about civic friendship. And it doesn't take much to develop his argument to the conclusion that civic friendship is incompatible with liberal pluralism, or competing identities. But the liberal must hold on to his liberal fantasyland as long as possible, rather than face the truth that utopia does not exist and he does not live in a community. Civility may be the appropriate response, or it may not be the appropriate response -- it depends on the circumstances and what the other person is saying or doing. Have we forgotten what Aristotelian phronesis is, too?

Note how these alt-right types, who are swarming @jpodhoretz's post, always have some Pagan element in their ideology. Always. They hate Judaism and Christianity and the God of Abraham.

From an AmConMag review of On the Basis of Sex:
It’s worth noting that there’s a surer, less fraught path to Ginsburg’s ideal destination. Federalist Society co-founder Steven Calabresi has argued at length that the Constitution’s equal protection guarantee “was from its inception a ban on all systems of caste,” such that under a proper reading of the text, sex discrimination was unlawful from the start. That argument is very different from the one we hear onscreen: it isn’t rooted in evolving social norms, but in text and constitutional history. Though admittedly, “text and constitutional history” aren’t exactly the stuff of gripping cinema.

What did the Church do during the reign of Franco?
Very little to strengthen catechesis or to evangelize the non-believing parts of Spain. (Or were these parts heavily anti-Christian?)

The New Emangelization: Discussion with Dr. Leon Podles – Author of “The Church Impotent – The Feminization of Christianity”

A 2014 post by Msgr. Charles Pope in which he tries to play it safe and moderate.
Podles' new book which may be published this year by St. Augustine Press; unfortunately the publisher has a reputation for delays.
How many Latin Catholic men, after viewing photos and videos of Pope Francis and reading transcripts of his remarks, would give a no confidence vote based on his speech and mannerisms? How many non-soy men would do so? I suspect that any natural "charisma" he may have is perceived only by women and it is not based on his words behavior but on a well-crafted image that appeals to emotion.
