Fr. Rutler on the Awkwardness of Advent

“If Catholics behaved as Catholics, living as Catholics in their homes and voting as Catholics in the public forum, our culture would not be satisfied with getting little things from elected officials in exchange for moral dignity. If we only want things, we shall only be things.  Amid the passing fashions of mindless men, Christ says, ‘. . . you will be brought before kings and governors for my name’s sake. This will be a time for you to bear testimony’ ( Luke 21: 12-13).”

In a recent commentary, Father George Rutler, pastor of the Church of Our Saviour, New York, NY, reflected on the last Advent one lives (the one for which all the other Advents prepared).
