Fox News’ religious principle: small gov’mint
Ah yes, my favorite faith and politics pundit, Fox News’ Fr. Morris. I always like how he prefaces his commentary with a feign to the high road. “Religion always has an influence on one’s character.”
Apparently, this Sunday his scriptural message is: don’t vote for the front runner, vote for limited government. Ah yes, the biblical principle of the limited role of government.
Now there’s a ideological concept that I have not learned in my last six years in Protestant and Catholic theological education. I recall Moltmann on hope, and Kant’s categorical imperative, but I missed the theological truth that limited government is a universal principle.
It sounds like politics to me. But I guess Fr. Morris kicked it off by saying that this wouldn’t be about that. . . oh, and remember the principle of don’t vote for the front-runner, who just happens to be Mike Huckabee.
