Fantasies such as women “priests” or “deacons,” the possibility of marriage between two men or two women, being born in the “wrong” body and other chimeras obsess and entertain the left, as well as the poorly instructed who cannot think for themselves.

Some of us may not live to see the ultimate restoration.
Or perhaps the restoration will be one which flourishes only within the modern equivalent of the walled monasteries and castles of the Middle Ages: pious Christian civilization and learning inside the intentional home or rare parish, and marauding vandals without.
