:::So I was reading the essay and had an interesting idea: conservatism was absolute before the Fall, and Eve's corruption of Adam after her temptation by Satan marked the introduction of liberalism into the world. What was the temptation to Eve? It was for her to usurp the natural order and roles assigned by God. Would it therefore be valid to say that the Fall not only introduced liberalism into the world, but was caused by the first act of feminism? [[User:NateCev|NateCev]] 11:41, 26 March 2011 (EDT)

== I disagree - good vs. evil not political, Europe ==
I have to say that I disagree with this whole idea. Good and evil don't take political sides. There are plenty of registered-Democrat Catholics who, despite the pro-choice stance of the Democratic Party which popes and bishops have consistently condemned, and consistent record of government, truly believe that Big Government can help the poor, end hunger, and protect the environment. Also, many conservatives are Ayn Rand supporters who hold to beliefs like "greed is good" and "my only responsibility to society is to increase the wealth of my shareholders". (Jimbo Wales, and his opposition to his ex-wife becoming a nurse, come to mind.) As Jesus put it, both parties should give Caesar back his money, and get busy on the will of God.
Also, we must look at Europe for an example of conservatism's decline. All politics over there is left of us, abortion is frequent and treated as no different than birth control, belief in God and Christ is in the minority. The current Pope Benedict XVI has stated he was surprised at how the US can be such a Christian nation given its religious freedom and separation of church and state. -[[User:Danq|danq]] 00:18, 30 March 2011 (EDT)
