Political Contests Are Between Competing Socialisms
Another election cycle has begun, even though it is less than a half a year since the November 2018 congressional elections. Donald Trump seems unlikely to face a serious challenger for his re-nomination as the Republican candidate for president (unless explosive revelations place his public standing in serious doubt in the coming months). But the Democratic field already has well over a dozen declared serious candidates, each one of them eager to be chosen as Trump’s opponent for the presidency of the United States in the autumn of 2020. It is not only about other people’s money being up for grabs, but also the degree of remaining freedom of everyone in the society. With government programs come political restrictions on what you may do, how you may do it, and with whom, within the ever more tightly woven web of interventionist regulations and income redistributions imposed on all in the country.

AS SAINT AUGUSTINE SAITH": WHY TEC - AND ANGLICANISM - NEEDS THE ARTICLES
Such a rich and robust Augustinian Reformed Catholicism offers a compelling alternative to TEC's doctrinal minimalism. And not just for TEC, but also for a wider Anglicanism in which doctrinal minimalism can be all too apparent. The Lambeth Quadrilateral is not a statement of Anglican doctrine: rather, it is the basic minimum which allows Anglicanism to pursue reconciliation with other Christian traditions. A minimalist definition of doctrine tends to be very meagre fare indeed. Such is the case with TEC. Such is the case with an Anglicanism defined merely by the Lambeth Quadrilateral. It is time for a richer diet, for a rediscovery of the Augustinian doctrine of the Articles.
