Rene Girard & The Covington Catholic Boys | The American Conservative. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)
It’s going to get worse — a lot worse. Christians, and conservatives, need to be prepared for it. This is why I wrote The Benedict Option, and now it’s becoming ever more difficult to deny its diagnosis. Girard is right: the abolition of what we believe in is the long-term goal. This is what #ExposeChristianSchools is about: scapegoating, straight up, with the aim of marginalizing and ultimately eliminating any public manifestation of orthodox Christianity.
If you want to know René Girard, a good place to start is with Cynthia Haven’s
Evolution of Desire.
The recent incident seems to have served as the video equivalent of malignant prions, inducing sudden and widespread mental debility. I wish that this were limited to the Twitterati who jumped on the kids; but Senator Timothy Kaine (D-VA) has suggested that Congress find out who posted the initial video; and Mr. Dreher does not seem immune.
