A doomed experiment - 10 December 2009 |
|
Is it too cynical to believe that the western world, with its increasingly hostile attitude to all things distinctively Christian, really is headed for a whole lot of trouble?
T. S. Eliot thought not:
The World is trying to experiment with attempting to form a civilised but non-Christian mentality. The experiment will fail; but we must be very patient in awaiting its collapse; meanwhile redeeming the time: so that the Faith may be preserved alive through the dark ages before us; to renew and rebuild civilisation, and save the world from suicide. (Quoted in P. J. Leithart, The Kingdom and the Power, p. 217)
