The older I get, the more convinced I am that there are no ideological answers to these problems. There are only fallen, sinful people struggling with how to raise the next generation while trying to figure out the best way to deal with the specific problems their own time has presented.
For myself, I believe liberalism today is multiplying problems instead of solving them. It has lived out its time. The alternative is still taking shape, but it will not be secular, democratic liberalism. It will be, as R.R. Reno says, a "strong god" of some kind.
As for the strong God, we have gone to an extreme in putting humans as the center of everything, so it stands to reason we will swing back to the opposite, something outside of ourselves. I won’t see it, aged 58, not enough time, this mania will out last me. Profound stupidity is my future.
