Well I had to clutch my pearls for a minute when Ed was seeming to praise the work of Andrew Lloyd Webber (but indeed he was merely speaking of cultural reach…?) but either way they know their fans and this Saint Paulite was thoroughly delighted by this weeks conversation and all its belaboring. I hadn’t heard about the Agatha Christie letter (or it’s modern equivalent) before- very interesting! I do think it is at least clear that there is a non-minuscule portion of westerners of all stripes truly lamenting the loss of any and all tradition amidst the maelstrom of modernity, and who see the Catholic Church as one of the few remaining institutions that might hold onto it. It sounds a little treacherous to say so on this 4th of July (God Bless America!), but I think the British monarchy is another, which is why so many people, even non-Brits, are entranced by things like the recent royal coronation (notably also a religious ceremony). Whatever people’s politics or beliefs, it is sad for many to see every beautiful tie to the past severed. And as to the first half of the show: there have been many reminders to me this past week that I need to up my prayers for our President and for any future leaders of our country..,And so I shall! Happy Independence Day, friends!
