“The Death of Protestant America”

Jody Bottom has written a brilliant piece on the decline unto insignificance of the once brilliant, sustaining, American Mainline churches. While welcoming the effective end of non-left-wing anti-Catholicism, no Catholics—not even Gormogons doing dances on the graves of our traditional Masonic enemies—can consider this a positive development. Mainline Protestantism, in its several varieties, was among the core elements that produced America—as Bottom says, "a religious nation," read: "Christian nation," read: "Protestant nation."

Mandatory reading. More important for Americans in the long run than Georgia, Russia, or Pakistan.

(I'll leave Ghetto P to draw its connections to the plague of stripper/hooker-teachers of which he's today's Jacob Riisian scourge.)

UPDATE: Fr. Neuhaus's observations here are not unrelated to the history Bottom documents.
