Benedict XVI, Vatican II and Modernity
Tracey Rowland on the Pope's Interpretation of the Council Part One Part Two
Another point I made in my book is that those who think that the liberal tradition is avant-garde are about 40 years behind the times. Liberalism ceased being the hegemonic intellectual tradition in the Western world in 1968.
That's really interesting that she says that. I've read lots of accounts--from leftist sources--that bestow a sort of mystical significance to 1968. But most say that that was the end of the international left, not of liberalism. I never thought about it in Rowland's way. That must have been a wild year.

I love Tracey Rowland! This is a great interview and I can't wait to read Part Two.
Yeah, it is an excellent interview...
Part two is here, and it is a must read, especially in light of recent discussions here, at Peguy, and at Christopher Blosser's place.

Thanks Chris for alerting me about Part Two!
