Wilson was the direct spiritual ancestor of the current progressive movement. The only difference is that progressives of those days were Christian, while today’s progressives have a dumpster fire of a post-modern pagan quasi-religion.
“Mr. Wilson was one of the most devout of our Presidents. His religion was marked by constant and regular prayer, not a formality but a sincere outpouring of his spirit and supplication for divine guidance. He read his Bible consistently every day, meditated on what he read, and sought to put into action the teachings of the Scripture. He was an habitual church attendant and an Elder in the Presbyterian Church.” From http://presidentwilson.org/items/show/22351
He also had a mistress on the side (Mary Hulbert), which others used as leverage to get him to do their bidding. Wilson was afraid of being exposed as the hypocrite he was.
