Our political leaders are creatures of the predominant culture. These days, given the left's stranglehold on the media, academia, tech giants and entertainment, that culture is secular and progressive. That culture is the enemy of Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular. Like a reader over at Rod Dreher's blog said, that culture is not interested in argument, it's all about exercising raw power.
Time to start giving up on arguments altogether.We can't solve a problem whose existence we deny. The problem is both the culture and the reach of the government which is a significant enforcement arm of the culture. Instead, we should pray that the faithful be given the freedom to explore and follow their consciences as we seek to imitate Christ.
No argument will work. The time is already past. You probably have about 2-4 years until they ban you from Twitter, etc., and the payment processor company you use to allow people to pay for subscriptions or to make donations tells you to take a hike with your hateful bigotry. You can see, I can see, and more and more people can see the direction things are going.
Time (long past time) to start thinking about alternatives to arguments, period. They are fun to make! But there is no argument that will work against the spirit of our age.
I'm telling you, Catholic libertarianism is the path to success.

Who are they? We never heard of them.
Nick Saban is the head coach for Alabama.
From the photo, we figured that they are a coach of some sort.
