Science, the Unruly Child of George Weigel's Mind

"So an alliance-for-humanity between science and biblical religion is in fact a matter of re-connecting a parent and its child, not of introducing two utterly different species to each other."

Who - ontologically (!) - is the true George Weigel? . . . Here - in his own words - is "who-what" he is - a "man of faith" in his own righteousness as a discerner of authentic political power - well beyond the empirical scepticism of those faith-based communities not sharing his own peculiar insight into the worthiness of GWB into whose care his "god" has placed us . . . for our own good - - -

"There is a charism of political discernment that is unique to the vocation of public service. That charism is not shared by bishops, stated clerks, rabbis, imams, or ecumenical and interreligious agencies. Moral clarity in a time of war demands moral seriousness from public officials. It also demands a measure of political modesty from religious leaders and public intellectuals, in the give-and-take of democratic deliberation."
