Daniel Walden, in Commonweal: “This is the vein in which this campaign pitches itself: deliberately inoffensive, appealing to the dim embers of values the American people still share. Not hating people is good; doing nice things for them is good; being a sign of harmony in the midst of conflict is good. None of these things, however, is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They are, as one of the twentieth century’s great Thomists might have put it, insufficiently revolutionary, because they are in perfect continuity with the way we live now and the values we hold in a world that we know to be fallen.”
