But then Cameron reveals his politician’s circumspection, arguing on the one hand that advocates of “secular neutrality fail to grasp the consequences of that neutrality, or the role that faith can play in helping people to have a moral code.” That accusation is abruptly followed by the disclaimer that “[o]f course, faith is neither necessary n…

He had saved as much life as was possible. Fr. Haring asked: by what thinking could the fetus have such a right to life that it could kill both itself and the woman by exercising it?

Instead of expanding the “big tent” of the party to appeal to anti-Trump Republicans and as many socially conservative White Christians as possible, why not focus on appealing to the people who turn up to vote for you in far greater numbers?
