In my opinion, Emily Bazelon isn’t far off course when she says this of Justice Scalia – “…he directs most of his rage at the five-justice majority, not at proponents of gay marriage… He’s surprisingly OK with ballot initiatives and laws that have approved gay marriage. Scalia doesn’t share the morals of gay marriage supporters, but he is willing to live and let live.”
The more I think about it, the more I am inclined to believe that it is this false notion of “religious liberty” that is at the centre of this free-fall. “Religious liberty” and Pope Pius XI’s “restoration of the Empire of Our Lord” are at diametric poles. That is becoming abundantly clear to yours truly.
But here’s the question; if we can’t even reverse “Fortnight” potluck parties – as my pal Louie Verrecchio has posited – how are we to turn back the tide of a secularized religiosity that simply cannot be reconciled with what Christ expects from us?
