YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this exerpt from a recent Direct interview, Mary Eberstadt points out that Christianity teaches us we have a place in the cosmos, a binding responsibility to society and a coherent community to live in. Is society 'nicer' now that we have largely moved on from this? Mary Eberstadt argues that part of the reason politics is so vicious in the modern age is because the code of conduct that kept many people civil - Christianity - is on the decline.
Mary Eberstadt holds the Panula Chair at the Catholic Information Center and is a senior fellow with the Faith and Reason Institute. She is the author of several books, including Primal Screams and How the West Really Lost God, and has written widely for newspapers, magazines, and journals.
A frequent contributor to magazines and journals including TIME, the Wall Street Journal, National Review, and First Things, Eberstadt has also served as an editor at The Public Interest, The National Interest, and Policy Review. During the Reagan administration, Mrs. Eberstadt spent two years as a speechwriter to Secretary of State George Shultz. In summer 1981, she became the first female voting member of the student body at formerly all-male Deep Springs College.
