This is the third installment in my slow-to-develop “Literature
for the Modern Mind” series. For an overview of what it’s all about, see here.
Lately I’ve been thinking about the role Catholic education
plays in helping students understand the ways in which our Christian
inheritance comes into conflict with the modern technocracy. My recent article
on “St. Midas’ Prep” deals with this subject directly, and as I’ve thought
about it more and more, I’ve come to conclude that everything at stake here can
be boiled down to one essential question: Does the world exist for us, or do we
exist for the world?
