Beyond partisan. He is truly devout Catholic and driven by religious doctrine. He argues that religion is necessary in American Democracy and the decline of religion has caused what he views as morally corrupt welfare state. His views are truly insane. far beyond republican politics.
he thinks that religion is needed side-by-side with our individual liberty style government.
read this whole speech it's truly insane i can't believe someone so intelligent (and effective), who was given so much power by Trump, has these views it's truly scary
"But today – in the face of all the increasing pathologies – instead of addressing the underlying cause, we have the State in the role of alleviator of bad consequences. We call on the State to mitigate the social costs of personal misconduct and irresponsibility.
So the reaction to growing illegitimacy is not sexual responsibility, but abortion.
The reaction to drug addiction is safe injection sites.
The solution to the breakdown of the family is for the State to set itself up as the ersatz husband for single mothers and the ersatz father to their children.
The call comes for more and more social programs to deal with the wreckage. While we think we are solving problems, we are underwriting them.
We start with an untrammeled freedom and we end up as dependents of a coercive state on which we depend."
