Nice post ping!

“While the doctrines and practices of the Catholic Church were originally incompatible with modern liberal democracy, the Enlightenment ideal of universal human rights—seen as a gift from God and not a dispensation of government—is deeply rooted in the Western Judeo-Christian tradition. Further, the concepts of limited government and separation between church and state can be found in the New Testament, Weigel notes.”

Hip Hip Hooray!
