Don’t Take Everybody to Be Your Friend

We see the same salmon-cream-lilac obtuseness when Lefties try to talk religion. They live and move and have their being in a secular elite culture that has nothing but disdain for Christianity and Christians; at best they regard piety as a childhood disease. Only the coarsest political necessity obliges them to take notice of believers in the first place, and their discomfort at feigning an interest in faith is obvious. 

–Paul Mankowski, S.J., in Philip F. Lawler, ed., Diogenes Unveiled: A Paul Mankowski Collection

The title comes from a song by Sister Rosetta Tharpe.

Thanks to Bob Dylan for introducing me to Sister Tharpe on his Theme Time Radio Hour.
