I will be interested to see who replaces Reverend Patrick J.
Conroy as Chaplain of the House of Representatives. Will they
choose an obscure retired pastor to pronounce religious platitudes or a
prominent figure to articulate a religious rationale for their cause?
We seem to have several aspirants for the role of Ludwig
Müller, rallying churches and religious folk to serve a political cause. In that
they identify with the young and women, perhaps #MeToo and #MarchForOurLives
may parallel Sophie and Hans Scholl. Who are the candidates for the roles of Maximilian
Kolbe and Dietrich Bonhoeffer? Executions won’t come by guillotine,
noose, or carbolic acid but by dismissive slander.
