a handle on what he wants as a Catholic from the church and specifically the Pope in terms of involvement with worldly issues.
Sometimes he wants less, sometimes he wants more.
His arguments about what he wants from society are also a little confused.
I mean, he laments that
Work-obsessed, drivery dads don't get to spend time hanging out with their family anymore.
You know, not to nitpick, but married dads today spend much more time taking care of their kids than they did in the good old days.
And he laments that professional couples outsource chores that –
kind of keep you grounded in real life.
Okay, great, but the chores he lists are pretty much all what used to be done by full-time housewives, which is a model I'm betting wouldn't fly in his own house.
So when you boil it all down, he basically strikes me
as someone who grew up with tremendous instability and is constantly braced for disaster.
And he thought that clawing his way out of poverty would solve not just his economic troubles, but like all of his existential angst.
And then he wound up disappointed that the elite world he landed in
had its own deep flaws, which, okay, duh.
But the Catholic Church has given him structure and a sense of history and permanence, and now he seems upset that he can't find a way to map that onto the world outside of the church.
And I think that's what I took away from this, is just like somebody deeply –
still searching for something that's going to make him feel better and just kind of desperate to take what has worked for him and map it onto everything.
So the part that I really found most intriguing was what he is kind of peddling it as, which is his journey, his faith journey.
I grew up, as noted, I grew up Southern Baptist.
