Brother George:

So good to hear from you. Monomakhos, my friend! I am so fed up with the moral cowardice emanating from the pusillanimous pulpit dwellers.

Alexis, I couldn’t agree with you more. Unfortunately all too many of our own clergy and hierarchy couldn’t bring themselves to do so and actively tried to oust Metropolitan Jonah for doing so. Sad.

This paragraph summarizes the situation perfectly:

In this world, tolerance no longer creates the safety for us to express our views about the nature of good and evil and its implications for law and public morality. Instead, it serves to banish the truth as the reference point against which all of us must test our ideas and beliefs. The objective is to reduce everyone to modern Pontius Pilates who, whatever their private beliefs, wash their hands in the face of obvious injustices, such as what the Obama administration has just inflicted upon not only Catholics, but anyone whose convictions about the truth requires them to abstain from cooperating in acts they regard as evil per se.
