We tend to believe the times we live in are uniquely bad. They are not ….although we may be forgiven for thinking so in that it may well be true that we are living in the last gasp of a once great ( western ) civilization. We have been living off spiritual and cultural capital for a while now and the results are not pretty. But ….as we know and as we have seen many times in history …..renewal happens albeit sometimes from the ashes . France, of all places , has some very good things going on as described in a fine article by Catholic World Report.
