I know other L’Abri visitors from that era and they say the same thing about Franky. He had, shall we say, “issues” even then. He does not deserve the time of day today—he is off-the-wall crazy. His apologetics for Eastern Orthodoxy are embarrassingly over-the-top vicious.
That the NYTimes gives the time of day to him when it won’t deign to pay attention to other serious Christian thinkers only proves how shallow, stoooooopppppiiiid and mendaciously bigoted toward Christians the NYTimes is.
And the content of this article is years old. This is not news—that Franky Schaeffer is dumping on the memory of his father who cannot defend himself—that is not news.
NYTimes is a piece ‘o work, for sure.
All of this has nothing to do with anything other than that the NYT discovered that at some point Michelle Bachmann stated that one of the most influential books in her life was “How Shall We Then Live?”
So they started poking around to see what hay they could make out of that and ran into Frankie. Bingo.
