Some thoughts from Fr. Longenecker<\/a>. \u00a0Long and short, \u2018progressive\u2019 assumes the premises of the modern. \u00a0The secular modern that is. \u00a0From its core, modern secularism has a completely different model of creation.<\/p>\nLike kosher ham, you just can\u2019t merge the two together. \u00a0Try as you\u00a0might, something will give. \u00a0And at least in recent generations, it seems that it\u2019s the Christian side that gives.<\/p>\n
The reasons are likely more than just the twelve mentioned. \u00a0But the facts remain. \u00a0As Ross Douthat once observed, every time a Western theistic tradition attempts to assimilate progressive values, it dies. \u00a0While I\u2019m sure there are minor exceptions, exceptions they remain.<\/p>\n
