In the article "God Will Triumph: A Response to Rod Dreher’s Benedict Option," the author writes - "There is no doubt that a new spirit of fascism is abroad in the land. There are colleges where conservative speakers are prevented from giving their talks by screaming mobs of students. Accusations of bigotry and hate when a Christian publicly affirms Scripture’s teaching on human sexuality. Endless litigation until the Left gets its way in federal court. A general insistence that conservatives in general but believing Christians in particular acquiesce to the Left’s agenda or, in the breach of such surrender, their compulsory silence. And yet: It strikes me that Dreher is omitting three facts (?) that must be included in any clear-eyed estimate our cultural crisis."He then explains these three conjectures [not "facts"]: (1) Christian Action Could Bear Fruit, (2) God Could Bring a Revival, and (3) What if Americans Repent? But the point is, these three conjectures haven't happened in the past 50 years since the Sexual Revolution of the 60s, and if anything, traditional Christians have increasingly become a beleagured minority, as described in Dreher's book The Benedict Option. It's time to protect our Christian value system like St. Benedict did. The photo of an American flag next to a church steeple clues us in on the author's worldview of an America that is still wedded to the ideals of God and country - but that is a bygone era. We are no longer "the silent majority." Our silence has cost us the majority. We need to read and heed Rod Dreher's groundbreaking book The Benedict Option. I've ordered my copy - you should too!
