The Weakness of Caesar and the Power of the Cross

The Weakness of Caesar and the Power of the Cross

Christianity has always redeemed politics by surpassing it, fulfilling it beyond itself. It defeats violence through peace and not with more powerful violence. This is not to say that Christianity leaves the tyrannies of the world alone. When I say it defeats them, I mean that literally, concretely—Christianity brings tyrants to their knees.

The Politics of David and Goliath

Goliath represents the impulse to put all our hope in man; to stockpile; to amass; to find salvation in the strength of a singular Giant. This is why Goliath is so very big. David represents the Jewish impulse to put all our hope in God. This is why he, David, is so very small.

Against Naming The Generations

It is stupid to name generations; furthermore, it is tasteless; also, I think it mean-spirited.

Whose Emperor? Which empire?

If “the Church came to assume Roman political forms” it is equally obvious that she then came to discard them.

Technological Security as a Problem of Social Ethics

“Medietas, this living-in-the-proper-middle, is not to be confused with mediocritas, with a lukewarm mediocrity that remains simply beneath the demands placed upon man.”
