In
my
First Things
column two weeks ago
, I presented a brief critique of the
National Conservatism “Statement of Principles
.” Like the authors of an
open letter
published a few days ago at the
European Conservative
, I believe Christianity is an inherently universalist political vision, embodied concretely in the global communion of the catholic church. The gospel calls nations to serve the King of kings and to join the peaceable pilgrimage to Zion. The church disciples nations by directing them and their rulers to goods beyond national goods.
