The implied answer, of course, is no, the Enlightenment culture without the firm foundation of Europe’s roots in Christianity can only devolve into a pseudo and dogmatic religion, ultimately restrictive of freedom.

It is not at all surprising that the Pope wouild like to return to a pre-Enlightenment culture, in which the Church had more power.

What I find baffling is his suggestion that Christianity before the Enlightenment was not dogmatic or restrictive of freedom.

[Albion Wilde]

The ony real freedom is the freedom to choose the right thing or to choose to learn from and repent of mistakes.
