It is an excellent article. I rarely read the WSJ but happened to pick up a hotel desk copy, and enjoyed it very much. Excellent read.
An oddity of it is that the article is so supremely and self evidently Catholic, that I was surprised that Dreher had converted to the Orthodox. An article of this type would lead me to suspect and hope he’ll return to Catholicism.
