Why do the heathens rage and the nations utter folly?

"The great “social reintegration” into a threefold “catholicism” of Roman Catholicism, nationalistic socialism, and humanistic communism referred, then, not simply to a reintegration taking place in the religious fascism of the Third Reich, but also to what he perceived to be a growing nihilism at work especially in the younger generations in the United States."

Catholicism = Nazism, Marxist-Leninism, and nihilism? 

Perhaps somebody could explain the quote above, excerpted from La Perruque blog?

Frank Schaeffer on Abortion

This bit is from a chapter on abortion in his memoir Crazy for God. Plenty of food for thought even if I don't agree with it all. Frank Schaeffer looks to have achieved the "double revolution" that Péguy deemed so precious...

"We will never find a 'good' solution to the question of abortion. What we need to do is to back away from the idea that there is an ideological 'fix' to every problem. Then again, that's just one opinion. And I could be wrong. I often am."
