All the Western World’s An Ad

“The forces that affect it [our modern secular culture] are in the West the great commercialized amusement industries and in the East the forces of political propaganda. And I do not think that Christianity can ever compete with these forms of mass culture on their own ground. If it does so, it runs the danger of becoming commercialized and politicized and thus sacrificing its own distinctive values.” [Christopher Dawson, The Historic Reality of Christian Culture (New York: Harper & Row, 1960), p. 89]
