Since the re-election of Donald Trump, much has been said – or rather screamed – about multiculturalism. Most countries in the West are facing record levels of immigration from non-Western nations, and a seismic demographic shift has taken place.
On the one hand, some consider it indisputably good that many people in the same place speak many languages. Others consider it an affront and an attack on the native culture of the receiving nations.
I would like to avoid accusations of centrism, but as a Catholic, that may prove impossible. Goods are being sought on both sides. Catholicism itself is universal and therefore multicultural, so I cannot help but sympathise with those championing multiculturalism in the West. That said, those champions have made a grave error.
