"And in the wider culture, the form of Christianity that’s most adapted to late-modern America is clearly not the Church of Rome. It’s evangelical Protestantism. The vibes of a Catholic moment are real enough, but evangelicalism’s resilience is our era’s more fundamental fact." - @Douthat60
For all the buzz around a ‘Catholic century,’ evangelicalism is the denomination best placed to thrive in contemporary America. thefp.com/p/ross-douthat-our…
Evangelical Protestantism is here, and American Catholicism has plenty to learn from it, writes @Douthat60.

The booming rehab industry in southern Ohio is now rife with exploitation, abuse, and fraud, local officials told me.
People being forced to live in rat-infested homes that are falling apart. Rehab businesses are charging Medicaid for services like "decorating Christmas trees" and "playing cornhole."
And the bill is being footed by taxpayers.

NEW: My reporting on the 'rehab capital of America' in @TheFP
Recovery centers are intended to fill an essential need for a heavily drug-addicted community, still struggling decades after the height of the opioid crisis. But some wonder whether their invasion of Scioto County - a small, rural county with few jobs and little industry - is the next exploitation of Appalachia.
Author @GadSaad famously coined the term “suicidal empathy.” Could this help explain the unrest unfolding across France?
@IsabellaRedjai sat down with him to find out.
