It is an opinion article, and I did note that that it ends with a plea for a strengthening of religious authority, which I believe to be wrong headed. The author is the editor of a opinion magazine, Compact, which seems to generally takes that stance. According to the wiki:

The magazine's online mission statement describes its political intentions:

Compact, an online magazine founded in 2022, seeks a new political center devoted to the common good.

Though we have definite opinions, we proudly publish writers with whom we disagree.[5]

According to Danny Postel, writing in New Lines Magazine, its approach is a "'synthesis' of communitarian conservatism and social democracy"."
