Looks so to me.
One thing that struck me about Dreher's piece is that he accuses no one but himself of anything. This is powerful.
The topic didn’t resonate with me all that much, but I felt convicted by the original poster’s request to give the piece an honest effort, irrespective of the author. His discussion of the ways he thought the topic had affected himself seemed honest and gave me some things to think about.
All the people he quoted had interesting perspectives, too. I suppose, being as how it’s a great big Church out there, it’s entirely to be expected that some people would observe issues that never cross the minds of others.

I’m reading Pascal lately and he wrote a couple of scathing “thoughts” about Montaigne. Then he said, basically, “What I see in Montaigne I saw in myself first”.
