Patrimonialism ..

[Jonathan Haidt @JonHaidt]

What is the new kind of government that Donald Trump is trying to create in the United States? @jon_rauch makes a strong case that the key word is "Patrimonialism." Rauch lays out its logic and its vulnerabilities:

”Nothing is more dangerous than a general idea in narrow and empty minds: as they are empty, it finds no knowledge there to interfere with it; as they are narrow it is not long before it occupies the place entirely.”

Materialists see the world as made up of little bits of hard stuff. What if instead we would see reality as energetic forces and flows that interact with us, asks Rowan Williams.

@joelsh @FrHarrison ”Men without chests”

[Giles Fraser @giles_fraser]

Yes! This by @j_amesmarriott is pretty much spot on. I’d suggest, however, it’s not that that we need to lean into reactionary politics but rather lean into the strangeness of Christianity, its historically distinctive voice. The whole thing about making Christianity accessible is a dead end. We don’t need easy listening Christianity, chummy familiar Classic FM Christianity. We need the full throated mysticism and confidence of the Catholic tradition. The word made strange once again.

The birth rate is the first indicator of a people’s hope. Without children and young people, a country loses its drive for the future.
