Great post, great man. Thanks for the alert

"Celibacy, if it is an aid to one's ministry, is helpful. If it is not, then it is a hindrance and can be detrimental. As to the practice of celibacy, I prefer to take Christ's advice: "Let him accept it, who can." Hmmm. Sounds like the kind of advice an old Augustinian monk was giving out a few centuries back...

Thanks for linking to this on another thread. I admire Professor George, and learned so much from his series of debates on stem cell research on "National Review."
However, the author is wrong, wrong, wrong about one thing:
"" If there really is a vast, right-wing conspiracy, its leaders probably meet in Georges basement.""
Of course, we meet here on FR.

Bump to savor later.

Whoops, Dutchgirl posted the link to the other thread. (don't bother looking, it was just a bash at David Horowitz).
Unless he has the FR servers in his basement, I'm afraid the author made a mistake. I will forgive her, since I'm sure the mistake was only due to her admiration of Professor George.

Big Robert George fan here. A true intellectual of the first rank.
With all due respect, Bill Bennet and John "I hate WASPs" Diulio are nowhere near in the same league.

Some politicians say that theyre personally opposed to abortion, yet pro-choice, says the 48-year-old professor of constitutional law and moral philosophy. But we must ask: Is this a position that can survive the test of logical coherence? After all, if abortion is wrong, surely it is wrong because it is the unjust taking of the life of a developing human being. He pauses to let that sink in and then launches another question: And if one believes that, then what could possibly justify a regime of law that licenses so grave an injustice? Brilliant!! The 'personally opposed' position I always found stupid.

This argument is perfect!
The Culture of Death is trying to destroy thousands of years of Judeo-Christian values. A person can either be Pro-Life or Pro-Death -- there is no middle ground. To provide an opportunity for someone to do something that is morally wrong, is in itself morally wrong.

Exactly. One conservative has more sense than fifty liberals combined. Well, fifty liberals is only multiplied mental mendacity.
To: nickcarraway
Good bio. I have the greatest respect for Robert George. He was one of the backers of Chief Justice Roberts, which was one major reason why I figured that Roberts was a good pick. I trust George, and I don't think it would be easy to pull the wool over his eyes.
The article seems to have dropped the reference to journals where George has published, but one of them is First Things. Here's a search at First Things for articles by or about George:

I do not consider marijuana or similar things to be "moral" issues.

That's my point - but moral relativists apply such arguments.

C.S. Lewis warned over fifty years ago that the moral relativism argument put forth by secular humanists were the greatest threat we faced. He was absolutely right.
