Good to see this in the NY Times. Not only the original column, but this response as well.
Dreher is an unadulterated, self absorbed, holier than thou creep, a classic example of a protestant swinging the theemeeatoe (thurifer) as one of my priest fishing buddies used to say. His understanding of Orthodoxy, and Roman Catholicism for that matter, might exceed that of my dog, but I tend to doubt it!. He doesn’t live and walk Orthodoxy; he lives and walks American conservative politics! If anyone is afflicted with crazy convert disease, it’s Dreher!
Don’t listen to him; you Latins lucked out when he left. Why we let him in is beyond me!
