Excellent post. The humbling perspective of total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistable grace, and perseverance of the saints tends to keep such folks revering life as a precious gift of God. And who can be a real student of the Word of God and not find reminders laying everywhere on the pages?
Wonderful stuff, Doc.
What does this have to do with post 78?
I realize that having so many Catholics on the Supreme Court terrifies you, but have you considered the following:
1. All but one of the Catholics was appointed by a Republican and the ONLY conservative justices and the ONLY moderate justice are Catholics.
2. Were it not for the three Catholics, a Lutheran and an Episcopalian we would have had a President Gore.
3. Were it not for the five Catholics, our Second Amendment rights would probably be gone.
4. Were it not for the five Catholics, the partial birth abortion ban would have been declared unconstitutional.
I'm not aware of any pending cases regarding abortion, but it seems pretty clear that the ONLY hope of ending the American holocaust in the near future lies with five of the six Catholics on the Supreme Court.
