" Only the grace of God can save us from another Dark Age and the church that Luther recognized as the slaughterhouse of souls."
Bitter calumny there, fella.
Indeed. Horrid stuff.
Usually I'm busy around here arguing that social conservatives and fiscal conservatives need to support each other, because that's the only way that conservatives prevail. Each can agree to support the other's bottom line, and in that way they can win the battle.
Fiscal conservatives may think there should be a right to abortion. But is that right more important to them than cutting taxes and spending? Can't they agree to support the nomination of strict constructionist judges if that's what their fellow conservatives consider most important?
Right to lifers may be less concerned about taxes. But if it gains them a conservative Supreme Court, can't they support lower taxes and less spending on social issues?
The same with Catholics and Evangelicals. They want many things in common. The votes of both groups are needed if conservative Christian principles are to prevail in our country. Both groups have chosen Jesus Christ as their personal savior. Certainly they have their differences, but they have far more in common than they have with liberals who consider abortion, perversion, and the destruction of traditional religion as THEIR bottom line issues.
When Scott Hahn told his Evangelical parents that God was calling him to join the Catholic Church, as I recall, they told him that although what was happening pained them, he should do what God called him to do.
