The nature of government is to resolve controvertible issues according to some conception of the good and the true. In other words, we govern according to what is true and every political act is aimed at some good. Therefore, if we are going to resolve controvertible issues according to what is actually good and true, we must govern in accordance with the natural law and the Magisterium. The "separation of Church and state" is metaphysically impossible. The government cannot be "neutral" anymore than a homeplate umpire can be neutral calling balls and strikes.
separation of church & state may be relevant in terms of protecting the church and keeping it's purity, not the other way around. In my opinion church should be shining beacon at the top of the mountain that guides the people to make right choices but should restrain from getting directly involved in normal political issues. But it should get involved in protesting against serious political cases like abortion which crosses the red line very blatantly.
The main problem I find when church gets involves in politics is that when church has power then the political corruption will focus on corrupting church authorities or popular preachers instead of just focusing on corrupting politicians for personnel gain. Church has higher role to serve for the people and so keeping it's purity by not getting involved in the usual political struggles will preserve the Church's purity. Thus it will serve the people better or so I believe.
@spencerd8504 You make some good points. I stand by my definition of government as resolving controvertible issues according to some conception of the good. The fullest embodiment of the common good is derived from the natural law, Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and ultimately the Magisterium. Now, this doesn't mean that we conflate the state with the Church. Nevertheless, the Church must influence how the state governs. For instance, I am not suggesting that we abolish Congress and replace it with the congregation of bishops or anything. I'm simply suggesting that all Catholics have a political obligation to, at the very least, vote for representatives with a Catholic understanding of the common good.
@@kurtschneider4202 I agree. Church should instill the good-values in people and people should use that values to discern bad & good political decisions. I even think it's a good idea for the state to officially recognize Christianity as the truth, just like the nation recognize it's constitution being the fundamental principles that guides the nation.
I've been saying this for a while now. Left ideology is rooted way more in a faith than even religious ideology. If you're a transformer, they get to decide who "actually means it" and who's "being facetious". That double standard is gross. Either you believe what you say and anyone can be any gender any time, for example. Or you don't believe what you say and only those they deem worthy can be in their group. They tell others what their intentions are with words or actions and in doing so, they think they're some sort of God's who are able to read everyone's heart. It's a huge delusion that has become their religion

If the grown man on the park bench is thinking sick thoughts about the children in the park, and never acts on those horrible thoughts, was it still evil? Yes, right? Then you can't say it's bullshit. I just went to the minute you referred to looking for bullshit, but if someone calls that bullshit then they sound like a pedo.
@mattk6719 No tolerance for smug people quoting pseudo scientific principals that they barely understand. If he looked into the so called fine tuning argument more than one throwaway quote from one person he would not use it at all, least of all as some evidence for one particular God. I am all for listening to views that differ from mine but they need to be worthwhile.
Love Trent Horn. A great Catholic
I'm pleasantly surprised to hear him acknowledge Passover. Could use more of that.
Trent horn getting into politics is awesome!
I think every Christian should involved in politics in some way. We are the salt of the earth.
Is there anything that Christianity isn't the solution for?
No
Everything
Christianity isn't a solution. It is a method. Jesus is the solution.
Yes; Christianity isn't the solution to making marxism viable. I'm sure there are a few other things if I think about it a little.
@461weavile It wasn't a serious question. It was rhetorical.
I like it when you talked about early Christians / Catholics. I believe on what they had done to this world. Your knowledge about it is impressive.
Heck yeah Trent!
"Let the Dems remain clueless about why they lost. Meanwhile, continue to strengthen election integrity."
This is gold, truly, thank you Trent!

Trent has ZERO notes
Radical ideologies can lead to chaos and harm, just like Christianity.
Ah, harm (remember we are talking about the religion and not people who have misappropriated it )

Separation of church and state.
Means State has no jurisdiction in Church, and that State should be influenced by Church but separated from it.

@@kevinhodges7704 Neither does anyone if the founding documents stayed the US is a Chrisitan nation. Stop daydreaming.
What does this Trent person offer that BAC students couldn't get from one homily by Abbot Placid?
I love Trent but this does not seem to be his best format.
Any reason? I’ve been loving his work with YAF so far
Christians: Putin, the pope, george bush, President O, Kamila, Brandon
"Christians" for the sake of appealing to voters. And Pres. O is NoI not Christian.

Trent got Buddhism wrong
I just started listening. What did he say wrong?
8 fold path and four Nobel truths are the fundamentals of Buddhism he may not have communicated it completely but he was not wrong the path of enlightenment lays within you
3 minutes thirty something seconds, read your comment, made this comment and exited stage left
Painful, If you got past 14 minutes you have a higher bullsht tolerance than I do.
If the grown man on the park bench is thinking sick thoughts about the children in the park, and never acts on those horrible thoughts, was it still evil?
