Salvation, I can't think of a better example of the envy spoken about in this article than the leaders of the Democratic Party. Look at Ted Kennedy and his absolute hatred for George Bush. I have never heard the President try to smear anyone. By his example, the President tries to be a good Christian. Kennedy, who parades his Catholicism, spews hatred everytime he speaks. Then we have Kerry, Durbin and Pelosi (who I think is Catholic).
Their hatred goes beyond political discourse. There was an article about Henry Hyde in yesterday's Chicago Sun times about his Catholicism and how it was his guiding force in public life and how he doesn't see it anymore being practiced by Catholics in public life. I will send you the reference if I can find it.
Wonderful article! I had never thought about envy in this way before. The attitude of the wicked toward the virtuous permeates our society.
