Losing Their Religion

Well, aside from Democrat politics and Che chic, the Left Wing Media have never had any religion to speak of.

It doesn't seem to stop them from insinuating that the truly religious have lost theirs, all evidence to the contrary notwithstanding:

In one of her letters to a spiritual director — in other words, in a letter that by nature discussed her deepest spiritual challenges — she wrote: “Now Father — since 49 or 50 this terrible sense of loss — this untold darkness — this loneliness this continual longing for God — which gives me that pain deep down in my heart — Darkness is such that I really do not see — neither with my mind nor with my reason — the place of God in my soul is blank . . .”

The chattering class reacts with shock, as if they were encountering a senator in a public bathroom tapping his foot into the next stall.

Apparently the chatterers have never encountered the phrase “Doubting Thomas,” Saint Augustine, or, well, actual believers. Apparently they never encountered the words of Jesus Christ in the New Testament, who at the hour of his death cried out, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?”

Christians believe faith to be a great gift — one that, among other things, helps to explain the unexplainable. So that there can be challenges and “dark nights” is not all that blockbuster of news. Try a millennia-old.

But the media may soon face its own dark night. In a recent debate, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, son of a Greek Orthodox priest, asked the Democratic presidential candidates about their spiritual lives. There was some cliché, and some sincerity. But there was also the suggestion of a deep prayer life of a struggling soul.

That Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton could possibly pray — and sometimes in the same prayer group with Republican Senate colleagues (like Republican Sam Brownback) — has the liberal magazine Mother Jones freaked out. An article in their September issue worries that she might be “led by the spirit.”

The hair-helmeted media types claim to have entered journalism to "change the world".

Mother Theresa entered her profession at God's bidding, and truly did change the world.

They will never forgive her for her unspoken rebuke to their wasted lives.
