Christopher Ferrara explains how modern man has been “deconstructed” by the Enlightenment thinkers whose principles dominate our political and social life. John Locke, among many others, is shown to destroy our possibility of knowing what man and nature really are, and therefore separate us from out true purpose in life. In order to benefit fully from the promise of the Motu Proprio we therefore have to abandon the Enlightenment and “reassemble deconstructed man.” Taken from Roman Forum Una Voce – NYC – October 2007 – “Where Do We Go From Here? The Motu Proprio and the Recovery of Christendom”
