What happens when religion is no longer part of our shared common culture in America?
In his new book, Strangers in a Strange Land: Living the Catholic Faith in a Post-Christian World, Archbishop Charles J. Chaput of Philadelphia provides a candid diagnosis of the ills of American culture and suggests a cure. His thoughtful and humble pastoral guidance to Christians, especially Catholics, is needed direction in our response to the call to sanctify our lives in the middle of the world. Chaput says that “belief in objective truth, and the framework of moral right and wrong that naturally grows from it, is the ‘bone structure’ of a society.”
