The subtle hostility toward Christianity is puzzling. Your Dec 25 post repeating the 1949 WSJ Editorial implied a deeper respect than recent posts do. This isn’t a complaint, it’s more of a curious observation.

I think it’s more of an observation of humor, rather than an endorsement.

I’m really a scoffer and skeptic(brought up Roman Catholic). To my discomfiture, these days, I find myself practically always on the religious side of the culture wars. I have a long personal tradition of being critical of Christianity, but I find self-congratulatory liberal secular materialism much more simplistic & annoying at the present time.

Thanks for the insight. It may have been Jesus himself who said: “It’s hard to soar like eagles when you work with turkeys.” Author Richard Rohr sees the many centuries of faith as a tide moving back and forth, he simplifies it as 3 steps forward, 2 steps back.
