To: Mrs. Don-o

My older son will tell you that abortion (among other social crimes against humanity) is an inevitable result of philosophical (classical) liberalism, in both its modern permutations: progressive liberalism (Democrats), and the “conservative” flavor of liberalism (Republicans).

He will tell you that liberalism (including both permutations) is condemned by the Church.

And thus, we social conservatives don’t really fit well with what are really libertarians (the “right” side of the right-left divide of philosophical, or classical liberalism). We will always be beggers at the table of a party driven by markets, commerce, and atomistic autonomy.

The Jesuits often have a bit of an inkling of this, but their solution is to ally themselves with the progressive, Democrat side of philosophical liberalism. But the Jesuits do pay well.

Your son sounds like somebody I’d like to know.
