Mark Brumley of Ignatius Press is an apologist’s apologist. He’s a true gem. One of the very, very best.
In recent days, he has turned his formidable talents to commenting on moral matters raised in the current political debate.
In one piece on National Review Online, he takes on the argument that abortion is an article of faith for Catholics that shouldn’t be “imposed on others.”
In another piece on Ignatius Insight, he debunks the attempt to level out the importance of political issues and pretend that things like the war in Iraq are as important as abortion.
Well worth reading.
