our faith obligates us to extend our principles to the entire body politic (and to the world)

Misc. by Angelo Matera

Which leads me back to my initial post, and my belief (sorry for the drumbeat here) that for those Crunchies who are Christian, our faith obligates us to extend our principles beyond our families, and our local communities, to the entire body politic (and to the world). For if we are our brother’s keeper, then we are obligated to act at every level within our power to oppose sins against life, and against solidarity. For Catholics, the catechism is clear on this (and for others, see Aristotle). If indeed the Democrats are the party of Lust and the Republicans are the party of Greed, then we need to work politically to change that.
