    • "One place to start is the Catholic ressourcement, a theological movement that returned to the sources in order to better navigate modernity. The ressourcement movement of the mid-twentieth century sought to recover the dynamism of tradition and bring it into conversation with the modern world. While some used the return as a mere refuge from modernity, Romano Guardini confronted the changing reality head on. The German theologian’s End of the Modern World provided a prophetic response to the increasing power that man had acquired over nature. Guardini argued that the new age of scientific and technological power, minus an ethic of humility and responsibility, was becoming increasingly hostile to both nature and humanity. Guardini saw what was coming, in part, because he looked backward in order to look ahead. Guardini drew deeply from history, philosophy, and theology, showing the way in which humanity’s increasing sense of dislocation in the universe resulted from the displacement of God. His narrative continues to resonate today as the Holy Father’s encyclical Laudato Si has given Guardini another prominent hearing. In particular, Chapter 3 of the pope’s document, “The Human Roots of the Ecological Crisis,” retrieves Guardini’s caution against the blind pursuit of power, profit, and efficiency that has come at great human, spiritual, and environmental cost."
