Every revolution begins with energetic fighting against the enemy, but as the tyrant becomes defeated, the revolutionaries continue the fight among themselves, seeking increasing purity as they become the tyrants they opposed. We should be careful not to attack our own. This war is not over, and we still need every soldier, however imperfect. Actually we should celebrate conversions, not dredge up past errors. Remember Saint Paul was a cop persecuting the apostles before his conversion to become one of the most important advocates of Cristianianity.

Our greatest risk is rigid orthodoxy -- theirs or ours.

Interesting. Kind of jostling, right? I will definitely stay tuned.
