I lived in Cambridge for a decade and went to Harvard Divinity School--people who know me know that much. What they don't know is that some of my biggest supporters are Catholics like Patrick Deneen. Speaking of Harvard and Patrick I recall a time when Patrick was lecturing at Harvard to an audience of about 500 people; he spotted me in the crowd. He stopped his lecture, pointed at me and said, "That's C. R. Wiley over there. You need to get his latest book, 'Man of the House'." That's the support I get from Catholic intellectuals like Deneen, Tony Esolen, Brad Birzer, and Mark Bauerlein. Know how many people in my denomination do that sort of thing? A couple--and that's about it. Most people in the PCA are middle-brow, middle-management. They're people who don't take risks intellectually or otherwise. If all there was to it is intellectual kinship I would have left evangelicalism long ago.
