There is a sort of “moral equivalency” that has crept into our thinking. We’ve come to believe that one issue is just as weighty as another. Or that one set of issues balances out another. That we are free therefore to pick and choose according to those things which “matter to us.” But we know that some moral questions are far weightier than others. For example, issues of life and death are far more significant than economic reforms we might like to see. To see such a large number of “Evangelicals” and Catholics voting for Obama is indeed discouraging. Nonetheless, God has indeed ordained this outcome, and we have yet to see what will result.
God's son is to reign not some republican president. The lesson here may be that we have looked to hard to the GOP and not enough to God. I for one am guilty.
