Acton sent me their magazine

Religion and Liberty as a premium for donating. Professor Russell Hittinger is interviewed on the subject of Natural Law in the present issue. I was particularly impressed with this quote:

"...I am very inclined to look for the good sense in our western habits and institutions. I view even the most adamant secularist positions as part of our common culture. A Christian can take a more inclusive view of the quest for truth. Christ is our redeemer by the cross, but he is also the second Adam, and hence the consummator of human history."

“Property, not conscience, is the basis of liberty. For the defence of conscience need not arise. Property is always exposed to interference. It is the constant object of policy.”
Lord Acton
