I don't care what the rationale, mobs tearing down statues is a sign of societal disintegration. It will take a long time, as it did with Rome, but any nation that denies its history, however difficult that history may be, is doomed.
Speaking of which, anyone who grants me their un-solicited political opinion while quoting from Teen Vogue magazine has a misplaced sense of our relationship.
I could find no commentary about the Bernie Sanders campaign volunteer who shot a U.S. congressman in any of the official statements from the powers-that-be of the Episcopal Church. I've found a lot about some lunatic who drove his car into protesters. The former was just a nutter, it has been explained to me by colleagues, and the latter a member of a dangerous social movement. The church has avoided dealing with the escalating violence of the leftist "antifa" folks, too, I suspect because they are more closely aligned with the politics of Episcopal Church clergy. This is ill-advised.
I will repeat myself and note that the two extremes from the right and the left are locked in a codependent spiral of violence. If the Church is going to take sides in this, it is failing its purpose in the public square.
