Terrific post, Charlotte! Of course, the Protestant Reformation is, in large part, responsible for our "loneliness," by emphasizing the individual's responsibility for his/her/their own salvation and relationship with God rather than depending on a community (the RC Church and its hierarchy) for one's salvation.

After a while, both God and community disappeared from the equation, leaving us all to individually seek "life, liberty, an the pursuit of happiness" by ourselves. Alone.
