Jeff Culbreath Reviews James Kalb

Calling the latter's new book "essential for anyone who wants to understand Liberalism as a worldview" and suggesting "that liberals themselves would benefit the most from this book" — The Tyranny of Liberalism.

We learn that the book acknowledges that "only the Roman Catholic Church is capable of presenting a single, viable, coherent alternative worldview in the public square." However given that "Catholicism does not have the history or the momentum in the United States to effectively resist Liberalism on its own," the author "suggests a restoration of the broad religious consensus that prevailed for so long in this land."

On a more practical level, he "calls for the decentralization of government power and authority (a renewal of subsidiarity), repealing certain antidiscrimination laws, and other measures that would facilitate more local, traditional, familial and cooperative ways of life." It is this strategy that I see as the more viable option.
