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 arent 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.
