Roger Scruton was not a Catholic. While this point is uncontested, his relation to Christianity has become a point of contention. After his death in 2020 at the age of 75, a series of articles were published discussing his faith. Did he in fact believe in the Christian God, or did he remain an atheist as he had proclaimed himself to be in his autobiography Gentle Regrets? If he was a Christian, what kind of a Christian was he? His later turn to Anglicanism is often dismissed as mere aestheticism and posturing, most commonly by Catholics. But since he was never a professed Catholic, it is unjust to condemn him for not adhering to certain dogmas which a Catholic would. A more interesting question, and an often neglected one, is how Catholics might think with Scruton as a philosopher in his own right. By thinking with Scruton we can realise the meaning of ritual and aesthetic experience, while also approaching sensitive questions on which we Catholics have hitherto failed successfully to convince the secular world.
