Deafening Silence

Moral Issues in the Election

Next Tuesday, I hope you will do your Christian duty and head to the polls to vote for the candidate of your choice. I trust that your faith will guide you in your decision. Which candidate will best promote justice and preserve order? After all, those are the biblically-sanctioned roles of government.

And which candidate best exemplifies the cardinal virtue of prudence in his or her public and private life?

And which candidate will best promote the sanctity of human life, advocate for traditional marriage, and protect religious freedom? Well, if you've got an answer for that last question, then you're among the few. Because for the life of me, I have never heard so little about these core issues during a political campaign. These core issues-human life, marriage, and freedom-which-all expressed so powerfully in the Manhattan Declaration and supported by half a million signatories, aren't even on the political radar this year.

And that, to me is shocking.
