Entry: Is There Conservatism Beyond Christianity? (or how to book a mental vacation in Athens or Valhalla) Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/is_there_conservatism_beyond_christianity_or_how_to_book_a_mental_vacation#23217 Post contents: "Unfortunately, when it comes to “diversity,” the church’s view is indistinguishable from the academic left’s." Cool bumpersticker, but too easy to peel off. The Catholic Church asks us to encounter the real person as made in the Image of God and not reduce him to a demographical statistic, political abstraction, or faceless entity dependent on group identity. Lazy thinking, incapable of discerning between virtue and it's corresponding vice; Natural Law = Universal Rights, Preferential Option for the Poor = Managerial State, Conscience = Private Judgement, and on and on it goes. The Tower of Babel is at full-capacity. I would hope this site would not serve as it's holding pen. Sent at: 2008 11 23
