| The public
political conversation, I note in the German weekly Junge Freiheit
(January 20, 2006), operates entirely within a "left liberal"
universe of discourse, and those who define its ambits here and in
Europe have no intention of letting in other critical perspectives. Religious
experience could be intensely personal (and self-interested), many
confraternities operated within sub-urban or extra-urban ambits, and
beyond the city, territorial as well as civic governments increasingly
asserted a role in shaping the religious lives of their subjects. |
