That was a major break from the scholastics of the Middle Ages, from antiquity.

And it, in my view, marked the beginning of the end of a stable civilization.

So that trend has been building for hundreds and hundreds of years.

I think that reached a tipping point also really with the transgender craze, where you say, I can't even know what my sex is.

You can't know what anyone's sex is.

We can't know anything at all.

It tends toward almost a philosophical solipsism.

And at that point, people said, nah, you know what?

I'm pretty sure there is truth.

And I want to touch truth.

And I want to touch reality.

And I want to be grounded in something real.

And

That would tend toward the more mainline Protestant churches, the more liturgical churches, but then ultimately toward the Catholic Church, which is the only institution in the West that has survived since antiquity.

That's why it's up.

Look, I also believe the reason it's up is because of the moving of the Holy Spirit and also because I think that the Catholic Church is divinely instituted.

So I obviously believe that.

But I'm just observing the sociological reasons why Catholicism in particular is having such a resurgence now.

No one should be surprised by that.

This has been something 500 years in the making.
