Patrocles
What a peculiar logon but whaves…
The broad-minded owe nothing to the narrow bigots you extol. The narrow-minded need to open window and look at the real world.

Warren’s comparison between politics in modern democracy and the worship of idols is at least interesting and not without merit (take “Obamamania” as an example).
But I suppose that the point in Corinthians was that conscience is a tricky phenomenon. There will always be a gliding difference between the more broad-minded (or lax) and the more narrow-minded (or rigid), and the more broad-minded have to consider the feelings of the more narrow-minded (not the other way round).

Jesus said to Saint Peter (and through him to all the Church’s pastors), “Feed my sheep.”
He did not say “Tell my sheep how to vote.”

That would be something worth talking about, David, as it concerns the most fundamental of universal values as understood by both our cultures and by international organizations such as the UN.
