My more educated Catholic readers are most certainly able to explain in detail the very real and present dangers of moral relativism in society. Perhaps other religious readers understand this, too. Dr. Alan Keyes, an educated Catholic who also happens to be a keen political analyst, has written an article today addressing moral relativism in politics.

From The folly of Steele's 80/20 approach:

But the people have the right claim to such sovereign power because they are all "created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights." This is the principle of lawfulness. The authority of the people thus depends on the existence and authority of the Creator, God.

Indeed. A man who does not acknowledge the existence and authority of God cannot fully understand the concept of an "unalienable right" and, therefore, cannot fully grasp the concept of the sovereignty of the person over the power of the state. I look forward to Dr. Keyes' follow-up piece which he promises.
