Should We Be More Tolerant–Or Will Our Brains Fall Out? (Politics of the Real 7)

Laurie discusses DC Schindler’s views on the limitations of liberal religious toleration and his argument for a better toleration that coincides with increased influence or even establishment of the Catholic Church. This subject allows Laurie to contrast Schindler’s views with those of Christian anarchists and anti-empire theologians, and to explore whether or not Schindler’s views are, in fact, utopian, or at least unconsciously still influenced by Enlightenment thinking.
