You are correct on both counts! However, there was a long period where Christianity was fairly settled and taken for granted institutionally, with outbreaks such as the Albigensians which were largely contained within a limited region. The Reformation was the final unsettling of the institutional church, and put into play competing communions to a degree that had not been seen since the late Empire....You are also quite correct that liberals believe that they are the defenders and promoters of human values worthy of conservation. Joan likes to talk about how we are all liberals (unless we are reactionaries), I suppose that I would say that we are all conservatives, unless revolutionaries! It is just that those who call themselves conservatives tend to see the problem more in terms of cultural continuities...
