Civilization, in every generation, must be defended from barbarians.
The barbarians outside the gate, the barbarians inside the gate, and the barbarian in the mirror...

Simple Common Sense
Here's a nice example of why I like the Legionaries Of Christ priests. Theological truth, cleanly presented. It is good that National Review has an LC as an occasional columnist.
"There is a problem with identifying people with their choices. Thieves are welcome in the church not as thieves, but as human persons. When Jesus tells the chief priests and elders that “the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you” (Matthew 21:31), he is not winking at thievery and prostitution. He is responding, rather, to their willingness to acknowledge their errors and to change."
Perfect! BTW, you are now on my blogroll of links.
