Catholic ping!
“Catholic ping!”
The interviewee, who is selling a book called “The Benedict Option” (he repeated the title enough) was addressing more than just Catholics:
“Christians today – Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox alike – aren’t pushing very hard at all.”
I’ve been reading Rod Dreher’s columns and an occasional book for about 20 years. “Oh, the poor dear!” I often think. He’s just so het up about one thing after another.
That is to say, I think this whole “Benedict option” thing is more about his fragile personality than it is about the church or the world. Best wishes to him, and all that.
