Theodore Dalrymple

Christendom Lost and Found

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Father McTeigue describes and analyses the pathologies of modernity from which, to his alarm, the Catholic Church is far from immune. The decrease in civility, the willful throwing over of academic standards, the indifference to beauty in favor of comfort, speed, and sensation, and the tyranny of the present moment are the reasons for his profound discomfort. He does not despair, however. Where there is evil, there is the possibility of the good.”
