This traditional revivalism has been a chief feature of Awakenings/2Ts, rather than 4Ts which tend to move toward the secular and the institutional, according to the authors of T4T, and this picture seems quite correct historically. The previous example of this came from fundamentalist Protestants and not so much from Catholics, and was known as the religious right or the moral majority, and helped to sponsor neoliberalism-- the cause of our current plight. But I would not look for any such revivalism until the late 2050s or 2060s, if it happens again, and not during the current 4T.
What about minority movements against majority secularism? Or subcultures against the secularist nihilist majority?
