The Imaginative Conservative: Faith, Civil Society, and the American Founding
Over the years, American civic engagement has shifted from local voluntary associations to a reliance on federal government solutions for social issues. This change, noted since the 1960s, has led to a decline in community ties and an increase in materialism, resulting in a more isolated and individualistic society.
Alexis de Tocqueville's observations on American civic life highlighted the importance of small, community-based organizations in fostering character and virtue. However, as urbanization and government intervention have grown, traditional civic engagement has diminished, leading to a culture where personal responsibility and communal support have been largely replaced by bureaucratic solutions.

The Imaginative Conservative: Defending the Faith of the Bard: Strindberg on Shakespeare’s Catholicism
Many notable writers, including G.K. Chesterton and August Strindberg, have argued for Shakespeare's Catholicism, suggesting that his works reflect Catholic beliefs, particularly in themes like purgatory. Strindberg's 1907 essay defends Shakespeare against claims of atheism, emphasizing his faith through character analysis and quotes from plays such as "Hamlet" and "Richard III."
Strindberg contends that Shakespeare's references to Catholic doctrines and saints, along with his portrayal of faith and divine providence, affirm his Catholic identity. He critiques contemporary misinterpretations of Shakespeare, asserting the need for defenders of the Bard against those who seek to claim him for secular or atheistic ideologies.
