Challenges and Responsibilities in Preserving Religious Freedom

The chapter explores the obstacles encountered in religious speech and practice in North America and Europe due to notions of tolerance and radical autonomy, urging the church to resist these constraints to safeguard religious freedom. It delves into the intellectual insights of figures like Ryszard Legutko, discussing the shifting Western traditions that pose a threat to Christian perspectives. The chapter also emphasizes the importance of Catholic universities in upholding truth in a post-truth world and the challenges in presenting the goods of faith in a world that pushes back against religion.
