The vocabulary of virtue and vice has long been screened out of the public conversation by mass media and government schools, so it should be no surprise that appeals to virtuous behavior fall on deaf ears. People need to live their faith openly, especially people in public life, without apology or permission. We need to take the wind out of the prevailing secularist ideology that fills the air with silence and unfounded fear and turns the great moral calculus of public life on its head.
Preach it! Post of the day! Amen.
