So, the good news is I’ve finally completed the promised second installment.  The bad news is it’s not here.  But the good news is that it is over at Mere Orthodoxy, where Matthew Anderson kindly proposed to offer it a roomier home.  But the other bad news is that it doesn’t, actually, do everything I promised to do in this second installment (i.e., it offers no constructive or synthetic proposals of my own).  But the other good news is that a third installment will do that, hopefully next week, and probably also at Mere Orthodoxy.
