The New Pharisees 0
David Von Drehle does not mince words about Roy Moore. Here are a few of his words:
This self-righteous popinjay, running as a Republican for the U.S. Senate, has inspired mostly silence from the respectable pulpits of Alabama. It seems we Christians are well practiced at averting our eyes from the lurid sideshows beneath our big tent: the willfully ignorant Young Earth creationists, the cartoonish faith healers, the tearful televangelists caught with a hand in the till or a prostitute on the side.
Aside:
It’s been a long time since I saw “popinjay” in a sentence.
