Yes! I just heard this guy on the “Good Faith” podcast, and found the conversation fascinating. There’s such a strong secular case for religious institutions and higher values—politics ain’t it.
Many years ago the esteemed Catholic philosopher Alistair McIntyre wrote a book titled After Virtue. In the book he lamented the fact that the barbarians had been in the corridors of power for quite some time.
In 2025 a religiously and culturally illiterate nihilistic BARBARIAN is the POTUS. He is of course a pathological liar and a life long professional con-man too.
It has been said that a fish rots from the head down. Using that as a metaphor what are the prospects for the collective US body-politic when its head (the POTUS) is rotten to the core!
Appreciate you reading. I’d prefer to keep figuring out what The Long Renewal is through my own writing, rather than pointing to another organization. One of the reasons I enjoy blogging is that I don’t find my views fit neatly within the well-known boxes and factions.

Is this what you mean when by the Long Renewal and the return of virtue.

Great observations. I’d also like to say, thank you for serving the church for over 50 years. Your endurance is an inspiration.
