Lawless Christians | Crisis Magazine

We consider that a person is justified by faith apart from works of the law.
–Rom. 3:28
We have believed in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
–Gal. 2:16.

"Works of the law", as a phrase connotes that the good person on his own, without having faith in the resurrection attains little.

Juan Cole and Ivory Tower Anti-Catholicism

Juan Cole and Ivory Tower Anti-Catholicism: Santorum's ingenuity, as is the same with much Conservativism in America, is based upon there being a pervasive Madisonian "tyranny of majority" risk in so many aspects of life in America.

Authority and Its Discontents

I wish I would hear an American Catholic priest preach 2d Thessalonians once. If memory serves: "If you will eat you must work." That's the "social justice" message that must be preached in America today. Bill Moyers' promo for his cable show touts that justice only comes when a society is free of economic inequality. He's manic.
