I can't help thinking about all the ways in which the West has been exporting new "religious" ideas over the past decade in the name of "gender rights."
I just finished reading a good book written by Roman Catholics entitled "Gender Ideology and Pastoral Practice: A Handbook for Catholic Clergy, Counselors, and Ministerial Leaders."
There are a few chapters written by clergy from the global South and how they view the West as "Queer Nations" who are essentially colonializing other countries with their dogma about "SoGI (Sexual Orientation and Gender Inclusion). As much as Americans decry the idea of "legislating morality" that is exactly what has been happening for the past decade in the Western Nations and being exported abroad under the conditions of economic aid and development.
In other words, nobody is ever really the "quietest" when it comes to what they view as moral, but Christians are expected to become Anabaptists and only seek political or cultural change through "faithful presence." I like what Yuval Levin spoke about in an interview where he pointed out that sometimes, it is the structures that are put in place that encourage or discourage certain behaviors. Even the hamhanded work of the current administration in many other ways has successfully forced corporations and universities to back off their SOGI cultlike behavior.
Finally, I think Michael Horton's thesis on re-enchantment bears some real study in the years ahead. The return to paganism is a return to orphic theology that has been held back by Christianity for centuries.
This was really good.
