The distinction between opinions and values cuts right to something I've been wrestling with too. I notice how easy it is to treat every hot take as somekind of moral litmus test, when really most of them don't matter much. Von Hildebrand's concept of reverence as architectonic feels like the right lens here - if we're genuinely oriented toward the Good itself, the noise around partisan positions kinda fades into background static.
I really think mortification of the will and judgement is a very helpful category to think through the ethics of public life, on and off line. Thank you for bringing this book to my attention!
🏟️ In the "Arena", Saint Ignatius Brianchaninov speaks very clearly about the place of our 'opinion'. Grace🔥 and peace⛲ to you Amigo, one day at a time.....

Absolutely agree.
