So I think you can read into that from all you wish.
I think, first of all, it kind of reflects the political reality as well, which is an important point to note.
The country in America, as far as I can see from this side of the pond, is
divided pretty much in half, much as our country was after Brexit.
And so it's no surprise to really find Christianity in the same way inclined when you consider that one half of America subscribes to a communist authoritarian regime, much as half of our country appears to do also.
uh so there are again striking parallels between state and church what i would add is that i don't think christianity is declining and i don't think this poll means much because we're also seeing huge uh levels of conversion in all the right places and and so what i would really say is that christianity is consolidating because if you go back decades people haven't really believed what they confessed to believe even when the numbers were much higher um if you break down the beliefs of catholics for instance in the us i think
within the new right church.
There was at one point, I think something like 70% that didn't believe in the real presence of the Eucharist, which if you're a Catholic is a core tenet.
And so we're really just getting people fall, I guess, into their proper categories, which is whether or not they authentically believe in Christianity.
Well, I think it's interesting to look back on what we experienced when Jordan Peterson first burst onto the scene and was telling young men to tidy their bedrooms.
It was this sort of idea that first you get yourself in order and you get your house in order before you turn to other things.
And while we can lambast the hierarchy completely correctly and certainly overturn some of the tables of the tax collectors in the temple right now,
What we really need to be doing is looking at our own communities and our own selves and assessing, like you said, what does it actually mean to be Christian?
And for me, the reality is that most people don't really know the answer.
The answer is actually very simple.
to live as Christ commanded and to start with your own family first.
And that's not to preach some kind of moralistic concept.
It's just the fact that when you do that, when you start with those basic building blocks, everything else gets a lot better a lot quicker because you see the impact so much more quickly on your parish
and your parish impacts your local area your local area impacts your governance and your governance ultimately starts turning again to god now i'm not suggesting that we don't need a top-down revolution because otherwise it wouldn't be in politics and i wouldn't be advocating for that but i also think that there can be a bottom-up revolution
And we're seeing it particularly in the Catholic Church with young families returning to tradition because wherever they go, others follow and what they find is a happier and better quality of life.
