I'm speaking not of political liberalism, but of religious liberalism. And yes, that's what's done the damage over the last 40 years.
The people who invented "clown masses" weren't religious conservatives.
Fair enough, but in what sense? If you mean that the Catholic church isn't teaching to the Bible, then I would tend to agree that echoes the sentiments of most former Catholics that I know. But isn't that what the article is saying, too?
