That Moehler would speak at a center of Mormonism says a lot about him. Not good. It smacks of ecumenism at a cost too high to continue claiming a banner of biblical Christianity.

Mormonism should be dead as a force for societal moral good to thinking conservatives and Christians. They sold out the BSA to the sexual reprobates. Salt Lake City passed a "non-discrimination" (Christian oppression) ordinance like the most liberal cities in deep blue areas.

“Sorokin’s insight was the realization that civilization requires men to take responsibility for their offspring. This was possible, he was convinced, only when marriage was held to be the unconditional expectation for sexual activity and procreation. Once individuals—especially males—are freed for sexual behavior outside of marriage, civilizational collapse becomes an inevitability.”

In what I thought was a great post, the snippet above jumped up and slapped my right in mouth. Such a simple concept, stated with no fanfare, while we watch it happen every where around us.

Lds church takes another grab to get some street cred in the Christian community.

But the history and the doctrine have already been written. Can’t take it back.

I’m not here to debate Mormonism. Obviously you did not read the speech and you are knee-jerking over it. It is a wonderful speech, in which he makes his theological differences from Mormons exquisitely clear, but THAT’S NOT THE POINT OF THE SPEECH, WHICH CONCERNED THE DESPERATE CONDITION OF ALL LATE MODERN SOCIETY, AND HOW WE MUST PUSH BACK. I hope he will give versions of it in many locations, sponsored by ANYONE WHO WILL HOST HIM in the coming year/s.

Bump to self, interesting as far as I’ve read.
