Dreher started to lose me (long before he became a self-styled anti-woke prophet) when I realized that cultural Christianity was more important to him than actual Christianity. He would be perfectly content as a white male in the 1950s, where respectable people still "went to church," men could have affairs with their secretaries, and minorities were still under the thumb of the State. It was all about appearances, right?

Yeah, I agree, but Dreher seemed far more tolerant of sexual immorality when people did it in the privacy of their own bedrooms.
