Entry: Why Michael Mukasey? Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/why_michael_mukasey#5876 Post contents: @Kevin It is not nihilism to recognize that the political realm is the wrong arena. The one place to fight is civil society. Historically that has been the Church's strenght. REmember that each time the Chruch engaged in politics it was corrupted, while when it built institutions from the ground up it prevailed. Did Sain Vincent of Paul waste time going after courtiers and ministers to pass good laws? Or did he work on individula consciences and created the bodies, answering to him that would carry out the work that needed doing? Could he have accomplished all that he did by political action? There is one thing to be sure about politicians. Even the best of them will disappoint you. So, do not depend on them, as the psalmist advice. Sent at: 2008 07 24
