Bearing false witness is still a sin

“Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.”

I long ago accepted that a faithful Christian is likely to face persecution for speaking the truth. I expect hostility when condemning e.g. abortion or sexual immorality. But I should not have to expect it from those who call themselves Christians, and even less from clergymen. I do not know who the “Embryo Parson” is; it seems likely that he is some sort of Anglican priest. Apparently he believes that political support for the former President, of which I am incapable because of my conscience, is the new standard for both conservatism and orthodoxy (I consider it to be no standard for either). Therefore, this “Embryo Parson,” shielded by what I suppose is his secret identity, has taken the liberty to slander me personally in public on some Anglican blog he runs. His sinful conduct is public and scandalous. Therefore I ask if anyone can tell me who he is, and to which bishop he answers to, as he must answer for this libelous conduct. You may use the email on my profile if you want to answer privately.

The Moral Collapse of FIRST THINGS

Having written my share of book reviews, I have always been of the mind that one should first read the book. Apparently the editorial staff at First Things holds no reviewer to such a lofty standard. When it comes to FT reviews, my advice is simple: Never judge a book by how it’s covered; at least not in that formerly fine publication that has become a rag. If anyone fell for the libel they published, a dishonest book review by Gerald McDermott, read this and be set straight.

McDermott’s Ignorant Slander

Gerald McDermott has published a review of Tradition and Apocalypse by David Bentley Hart that is riddled with lies of which McDermott must be aware. I think I counted over twenty books by Gerald McDermott, and I’ve read two of them in my youth with some lasting appreciation. Therefore, this demonstration of sad desperation (perhaps mixed with some abject ignorance), has me genuinely disappointed. Since McDermott’s review is so dense with gross and intentionally misleading falsehoods, I am tempted to go through it sentence by sentence, but I will resist and only start that way.
