"All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others."

George Orwell (1903-1950)

 

"We should take seriously

the wealth of moral and theological wisdom

that has preceded us historically,

and where there is a strong consensus

among our best thinkers about an issue,

we should grant a strong presumption in favor of that view."

James S. Spiegel

"A Great Cloud of Moral Witness" in Touchstone,

January/February 2018.

 

"If something bears all the marks of having been designed,

the attempt to cite chance as the explanation for its genesis

is a sign of desperation."

"Reason un-tethered from faith can deteriorate into irrationality

with terrible real world consequences."

can successfully resist evil in its many forms."

George Weigel

"To seek virtue is to embark on a journey

that requires more than just

the piecemeal acquisition of certain character traits.

It requires a transformation of who we are."

"To hearken to the absolute and inviolable commandments

written on our hearts

is the soul of freedom."
