Thanks for sharing these thoughts so clearly - all roads lead to Dreher. What I admire in the weirdness and in RD’s output is that it is not overtly denominational. I am stuck in the RC Church but see the future, optimistically, as one where we have more in common than otherwise, need to stick together and learn one from one another. The RC Church needs to rediscover its own mystic traditions and discard the trappings of its history. We are entering a new era of social and cultural upheaval, which will be challenging for Christians but will also bring us closer to Christ, maybe even making us better Christians.
