Almighty God, our heavenly Father, let thy protection be upon all those who are in the service of our country; guard them from all harm and danger of body and soul; sustain and comfort those as home, especially in their hours of loneliness, anxiety, and sorrow; prepare the dying for death and the living for your service; give success to our arms on land and sea and in the air; and grant unto us and all nations a speedy, just and lasting peace. Amen.

(Religion and Liberty April 22, 2006), I revisit a somewhat heated intramural debate among American conservatives sparked by Jeffrey Hart's essay "The Burke Habit: Prudence, skepticism and 'unbought grace'" (Wall Street Journal Dec. 25, 2005), with responses by Jonah Goldberg and Ramesh Ponnuru of the National Review, Roger Kimball of The New Criterion; Fr. Gerry Murray (St. Vincent de Paul, NYC), and Fr. Richard J. Neuhaus and Jody Bottum of First Things, touching on (among other things) the Republican Party's relationship to the pro-life movement.
