Love and Fidelity

My children are quite young but I'm linking to this excellent Public Discourse article by Ryan T. Anderson because I want my children to grow up to be responsible adults.

And having a strong moral compass is part of that. My own moral compass lost its bearings when I was in college - not by much but some remembrances of my behavior are not unalloyed pleasures.

The idea that, perhaps, when my children go to college that these Elizabeth Anscombe Societies will be prevalent is one that gives me comfort. The intellectual arguments for traditions should always be maintained and supported, especially on college campuses where even the best moral compasses can be spun off course.
