Kerry's Faith and the Role of Morality in Democracy
Here's a fantastic article
by Marvin Olasky. Never even
knew who Marvin was until I read the article yesterday while
I was looking around Townhall.com. The important point
he makes here when he quotes Catholic scholar George Weigel,
that public moral culture is one of the prime foundations
of democracy and that this is merely an echo of Patrick Henry
and Samuel Adams cannot be diminished. In view of this,
the discussion of Kerry's faith (or his confusion of faith) is
essential for me. In fact, Kerry's faith as discussed is par
for the course with liberal democrats and is the reason why
I can never vote for one with a clear conscience. But will there
ever be a republican candidate who will stand up and say something
like, "The liberal democrats have largely abandoned the Judeo Christain
moral culture of the United States. They would have us
get lost in the relativistic bog of Pantheism or Atheism and the
resulting moral confusion. Do Americans want this to happen?" George
Bush clearly has a real and sincere faith in Christ and the bible.
But it's not clear if he really grasps what is at stake here.
