The nature of man is to be self-absorbed. That is because our nature is fallen. It no longer looks at God. Rather, it looks into a mirror. In fact, it stares into the mirror, totally absorbed, and can think of little else. This is why, if we're going to insist on a system where we're going to elect leaders - if we're going to insist on that system - only virtuous people should be allowed to vote.lol. If all men are fallen where does one find the virtuous?
Poor deluded fool.

And just who gets to decide who's *virtuous*?
Him?
The Catholic church?
Would they decide that only Catholics can truly be virtuous, therefore eligible to vote?
How convenient.
