“Laudato Si” Athwart Modernity »
Pope Francis takes positions that annoy both standard-issue liberals and standard-issue conservatives. This is because his overarching opponent is the philosophy of modernity, which in fact has produced both the “conservatism” and the “liberalism” that we know today.
The Faith song we sing thus;
Lead, Kindly Light amid the encircling gloom,
Lead me on;
The night is dark, and I am far from home,
