Interesting Article from the NY Times

I wanted to point out an interesting article in the New York Times about a new book that might be of interest to some of you. The book is called The Secular Conscience: Why Belief Belongs in Public Life. From some of the conversations we've been having about postmodernism and the rise of religion and spirituality, we thought you might enjoy the article. Perhaps you might even pick up the book. Notably, Fr. Richard Neuhaus offers his perspective on the book and while disagreeing with the author of the book on almost all hot-button issues, does agree with him that secular liberals have for too long sought to make morality a private matter when they, too, make moral arguments. They have simply refused to admit that this is what they are doing. Fr. Neuhaus is a brilliant scholar and publisher of "First Things," which is a great periodical for any of you interested in the role of religion in public life.

The link to the article is below. You can find Fr. Neuhaus on the web. You might want to read his article on why he is a catholic (I think that is the title). It is a great follow up to our discussions on catholicism.
