The Disappointment of Religion by Fr. Stephen (excerpt)

[Our] cultural reality makes it very difficult to speak of authentic Christian experience – for we speak to one another as addicts. We largely knowexperience as an alcoholic knows alcohol. That an alcoholic might prefer vodka to wine tells me nothing about vodka or wine. Religious experience tells me almost nothing about God, the Church, truth, etc. It is God, the Church, truth, etc., viewed through the fog of distorted modern perception.
