I recently noted that I have been reading Catherine Nixey's book, The Darkening Age: The Christian Destruction of the Classical World, while watching local officials make our public sculptures disappear here in Charlottesville. I also noted that this choice of reading was not a coincidence. The book holds up some unflattering parallels to our own age and prompts us to ask some hard questions about how we are dealing with the clashing visions of our culture wars.
The current state of the world and particularly America continues to astound me. We see the greatest advancement in the quality of human life trembling before cretins who do believe in demons and ghosts but don't believe in vaccines or heroes.
