The Cathedral and the Cube: Reflections on European Morale

In light of the terrible fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, it seemed right to post this synopsis from George Weigel's book, The Cube and the Cathedral in which he uses the image of that great church as representative of the religious culture that nurtured Europe into its status as a 1st world power in opposition to the Grand Arch du Défense, the glass enclosed edifice constructed in the last years of the 20th century which represents the modernist secular society that animates most of Europe today.

All good things must come to an end

Well, it's been a hell of a ride, laying rubber all over the road for the past decade. But it's time to call it a day and park the Rogue in the garage. Effective today, I am shutting down my blog to focus my attention on other endeavours. My thanks to the more than 2.7 million people who regularly joined me on these sojourns through news stories over the years that dealt with the places with issues of religion and faith intersecting with public affairs. May God bless you with a continuing desire to learn about and help disseminate the issues of faith throughout the public square. Happy trails in your continuing travels! Fr. Tim Moyle, p.p.
