Summary
Our work in ACCS is a crucial front in our modern culture wars. As you cannot fight a naval war without ships, or conduct tank warfare without tanks, so it is impossible to have a culture war if we are missing a culture. The ACCS is in the front lines of a most necessary rearmament. The situation is dire—it is like Britain trying to rearm in the thirties. But it is not enough to have old books, Latin courses, and classical music. Cultures need an immune system against the deadliest culture disease, which is envy. And to understand that properly, we need to look at Girard and Anselm.
