Philosophers there set out on a mission to deconstruct what they called “meta-narratives.” These are overarching views of life and history that help people make sense of reality such as religion and the natural sciences. These philosophers taught a generation of students to be cynical of everything handed on to them from past generations by encouraging them to be critical of any and every meta narrative.

Dietrich von Hildebrand, 1966.   "It is a long established principle of the Church never to completely drop from her public Worship any Ceremony, Object or Prayer which once occupied a place in that Worshi...
