The concept of The Dominican Option is to recapitulate the conversation had by Saint Dominic in the tavern with the Albigensian in the 13th century. The conversation lead to the Albigensian rejoining the Church. Based on this conversation, Saint Dominic decided that there needed to be an "Order of Preachers". Thus began the Dominican Order. In contrast to a push for christians to remove themselves from the public square, "The Dominican Option" is an attempt to enter into it and make the case for Christ and His Church.
