I am interested in all these historical facets of the struggle. But I am particularly interested in how the struggle is taking shape today, in the form popularly referred to as "the culture wars." At issue is whether or not the Church can keep her eye on her main raison d'être: to reflect the revealed truth of the Word of God. This revealed truth is eternal and unchanging. Mankind's perception and reception of it, however, is fallible, and the Church is not exempted from such fallibility.
On this page are collected the various posts in which I offer my own modest contributions to this tremendously important topic.
