And also as a kind of nonconformist here on FR, I have been moved to the conclusion that liberals are often not so much wrong, as that they have their cast of characters all mixed up. They tend to try to get secular authorities into a business that ought to be known as belonging to Christianity and even other privately benevolent world faiths (though the other faiths may be wrong in their particulars, they still serve as a dim, metaphorical illustration of the grace of God). We don’t need this, which is an attempt to fill a spiritual vacuum the wrong way. We don’t need pan-welfare states. We need small, simple, dedicated governments that leave room for the grace of God in private spheres.
As Eric Voegelin and William F. Buckley, Jr. would have said they're trying to "immanentize the eschaton".
