Reposted Ellyn's article here in case anyone missed it: Boy, Eric just emailed me this cogent piece of analysis by Al Mohler of Ross Douthat's new book tackling the decadence of our society-- it's so good and so timely. Have always admired columnist Ross Douthat's lonely vigil (of sanity, ha) over at the ever-more-apostate New York Times. Of course he's seeing our world through the lens of a deeply committed Roman Catholic, but his general concerns are shared by so many other believers, as Mohler points out. Well worth the read.
