A Primer for a Series on Renewing Western Christianity
Lots of gems in here:
"The collapse of the faith is not a private misfortune but a civilizational wound"
"[The Church is desperate to be liked, and so it has forgotten how to command respect."
"Christianity does not merely provide comfort; it gives direction. It tells man what he is, why he suffers, and what he must become."
"Remove Christianity, and beauty loses its meaning. Remove it, and law loses its foundation. Remove it, and power becomes cruelty."
The best was this one - our goal is "to make Christianity dangerous to the darkness once more."
