Listening this speech 11 years later, just after the passing of Benedictus XVI, seating in Paris, just realised that prediction does effectively exist, even in the USA :-) Thanks for this outstanding sarcastic summary of the Catholic Church challenges!
Christians have - or at least used to have - rallying cries: e.g. at the battle of Vienna (Sept. 11-12,1683) King John III Sobieski's hussars apparently called out "Jesus! Mary!" going into battle under banners bearing Our Lady's name after the King had placed his troops under Her protection. At the battle he prayed, "Not to us, O Lord of Host, not to us, but to Thy name give the glory." [Psalm 113:9] - while Pope Innocent XI had the whole Christendom pray the Rosary. That worked rather well.
In this talk I like Kreeft's idea that we can learn from Muslims. We try to have 'Christ' without the 'Cross'...Islam has 'tough' requirements, e.g., Ramadan. 'Allah Akbar' is a rallying cry for Muslims. Do Catholics have the equivalent 'Motto' as it were? Maybe the best thing we can have is a 'Muslim friend'...and to dialogue. Muslims can teach us. I have been studying Islam for years. I know it's shortfalls. Now to look at its merits. A retired Catholic priest in Canada.
Islam is a divided religion. Think all the fundamentalist christians and their thousands of denominations. Every way you look at it Muslims are the same, it was like that even during the time of the Crusades. There are countless sects and they even fight against each other. How can anything like that last?

Nobody wins a war, neither cultural nor conventional. Religions are failing across the board for a reason. Blaming culture isn’t going to save them. They are part of culture too.
Wow! What a great find today. I am blown away by this man speaking truth.
Impressive, prophetic and important! Lord, have mercy on us.
I love this man so much! He is the essence of faithful. And, to me, there's nothing more interesting and compelling than courageous people of Faith.

Kreeft is magnificent. Thank you, for posting.
Love thy neighbor very apt considering what's going on the world today especially in the middle east
I'm grateful for this reminder. It's so true.
Heard this lecture on the radio today. Glad to find it here so I can listen to it again. Thanks for posting

Read his book "How to Win the Culture War". Intervarsity Press
Amazing he's good!
This talk is based on his book "How to Win the Culture War" But its more updated.
I wondered too, if there was a transcript!
Is it possible to find the transcription of this talk anywhere?

I wish Oprah Winfrey would watch this video. What a great Catholic she would make!

A great example of completely missing the point
Nice, but complete nonsense.
That's because it's completely above your head
THIS is the main reason I vote against progressives and socialists.
