Patrick Deneen’s latest at The American Conservative is a must-read.
In describing the preeminent contemporary ‘intra-Catholic’ debate, Deneen identifies a discussion into which every informed Catholic will have to enter soon, if he hasn’t already. As Deneen writes,
Whether the marriage between the (Catholic) Church and the (American) State can be rescued, or whether a divorce is in the offing, depends in large part on the outcome of this burgeoning debate about which most Americans are wholly unaware, but to which those with interests in the fate of the imperial Republic should to be paying attention.
