From the Rector: Lessons in tolerance for ‘the Ministers of Truth’

Fr Hawtin

Oscar Wilde famously declared that hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue. And nowhere is the truth of his observation more evident than in our politically correct elite’s unceasing demands for America’s Christian majority to show “tolerance” towards religious minorities.

From the Rector: When it comes to Marxism, old Karl has the final say
