Christianity and the Crisis of Liberalism
Western liberalism has entered a crisis unprecedented in the post-war era, according to a broad range of contemporary observers. What is the nature of this crisis, and how should Christians respond to it? Catholic writers in the United States have proposed a number of “options”: a “Benedict Option” of retreat and rebuilding; an “Esther Option” of infiltrating the administrative state and turning it to Christian purposes, and a “Gregorian Option” of reviving a liberalism friendlier to religious ways of life.
