Well, you say conservatism is "slow liberalism", but I'm wondering what period are you appealing to when politicians accepted the "absolute submission to God's law of the individual and social reason"? I presume you mean some kind of confessional Catholic state which hasn't been around anywhere, as far as I know, for a long, long time. Such a test would seem to make the Duke of Wellington as much of a liberal as Anne Widdecombe. Truth doesn't have a time limit. Just because we have been excepting the poison of liberalism since the reformation, doesn't mean we should accept it today. I don't know which Individual politician summited to God's law over the last 500 years. There are most defiantly parties and movements that have (the most recent ones were not pro-democratic  ). NB: The Catholic confessional state isn't really the ideal either (compromise). I agree that truth doesn't have a time limit, but surely there's a danger of just luxuriating in futile protest. I suppose there can be an element of witness to it. I just can't really imagine a politician more conservative (at least socially) than Anne Widdecombe who might actually get elected, in this part of the world. |

Democracy isn't going to help us and history shows this fact. Yes Anne may be able to slow the car and act as a speed bump, but the direction is locked in place. It is not a futile protest, as it is one of the major problems infecting our society. On a personal level, all I can do as a father is educate my family, friends and community about what is right. I love how this thread is Female converts  |

But yet, we are getting off the subject... |

But yet, we are getting off the subject... The closest to home would be the Holy sea. Maybe Russia, but of course, I'm not Russian and technically there aren't many places left that are democratic (A lot of democracies aren't democratic as you know. Most if not all are controlled by a small group of powerful people.) I of course belong in Ireland and will not uproot myself for this. Éirinn go Brách |
