However, “the family and Christianity” may have set itself up for an unnecessary fall too. As we might put it, Uncle Sam isn’t appointed to be your preacher, isn’t appointed to be your godfather. To wail and travail because such a thing is ceasing to be, is to mightily discount what God can do through the churches.
It’s not matter of wanting the federal government to be a “preacher” or “godfather.” It’s that any action by which the federal government seeks to change the culture, or undermine the family or Christianity, is illegitimate. Such actions are not authorized by the Constitution.
The federal government has succeeded in these wicked designs because the Left alone has had a strategy.
The mainline Protestant churches, and the Catholic bishops, have been part of the Marxist project for 50-70 years.
