Rod Dreher hits the WaPo*
Here is a concise statement of belief from Crunchy Culture: Author Rod Dreher Has Defined A Political Hybrid: The All-Natural, Whole-Grain Conservative:

Crunchy Cons prefer smaller houses, older things, the musty truth of Scripture. "Culture is more important than politics and economics" is a bullet-point, as is "Beauty is more important than efficiency. . . . Small, Local, Old and Particular are almost always better than Big, Global, New and Abstract." Meanwhile, "The relentlessness of media-driven pop culture deadens our senses to authentic truth, beauty and wisdom."

One thing that troubles, however, is the sense of tradition-hopping:

Their devotion to Catholicism is strong, but Mr. and Mrs. Crunchy Con have had problems with the church of late, over its handling of its priestly pedophilia [sic] scandals. They even considered converting to the Eastern Orthodox church, with its incense and icons. It had a liturgical and communal vibe that "was so much more crunchy than any parish I'd been to," he says. "Though Orthodoxy feels right, the main obstacle for us is the question of capital-T truth. . . . If I come through this and stay Catholic, I'll be a much different Catholic, that's for sure."

It is the "if" that begins the last sentence that troubles. It speaks of the rootlessness and consumer mentality that the crunchy con ideal seems to be against. The superficial reasoning in the sentences that precede also troubles. Converts are not blind to the troubles in the Church, but at some point in the conversion process accept that the Church, while a divine institution, is composed of imperfect people. Holy Mother Church is "bleeding from many wounds," to borrow a phrase from Father Elijah by Michael D. O'Brien. We owe to it her to help stop the hæmorrhaging.
