Kale is
joined today by Dr. Larry Chapp, blogger and retired professor, in
discussing Ross Douthat's latest piece at First Things. The
mid-century inspired accommodation between Catholicism
and American liberal democracy is fraying, so that the existing
"liberal" and "conservative" camps no longer appear operative.
Emergent are four basic subgroups: populists, integralists,
benedictines, and tradinistas. Larry and Kale go to discuss why the old friction-less
detente is in need of an upgrade, and why the message of faith must
recapture the goodness, the essential attractiveness, of the Good
News. Enjoy.
A new podcast from The American Conservative, presented by Kale Zelden and bestselling author Rod Dreher, exploring faith, culture, and public affairs.
