real threat to religious freedom is in our society<\/a>. You see, when the Catholic Church says the government shouldn\u2019t be able to force religious institutions to compromise their religious beliefs regarding health care, they are a threat to religious liberty.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0\u00a0 Because, liberalism is Truth, and therefore in Truth is freedom.\u00a0 So when the government demands conformity to Truth, it leads to freedom.\u00a0 When people think they have a right to reject Truth, that leads to servitude and bondage.\u00a0 For freedom is only found in obedience to the gospel of Truth.\u00a0 Therefore, it makes perfect sense that Mr. Dibble would see the Church\u2019s concerns over government mandated morality as a threat to truth.\u00a0 It works a little better, it\u2019s a little easier, if folks don\u2019t use the moniker of \u2018liberal\u2019 or \u2018liberalism\u2019.\u00a0 That way you can understand folks like Mr. Dibble are merely doing what people have always done.\u00a0 They are saying there is one exclusive Truth in this world, and moral and just societies must demand conformity and obedience to that Truth, they must legislate morality that is focused on that Truth.\u00a0 For once you are bound to the Truth, only then can you have freedom.\u00a0 It\u2019s a very traditional stance.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Scott Dibble, a senator from Minnesota, explains what the real threat to religious freedom is in our society.
