If porn actors are victims, or sinners – a point of view shared by most Evangelical Christians – then the Cruz campaign has committed a grave wrong. It spurned and publicly humiliated a sinner in the very act of moving from sin toward grace. Moreover, she herself turns out to be a believing Christian. You know you’re in trouble when you find a death threat with your name on it, smack in the middle of the Gospels of Jesus Christ: “If anyone causes one of these little ones – those who believe in me – to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea.”
And so—with apologies to the Baltimore Catechism—a question and answer:
When is it right to stand in judgment of the religious beliefs and practices of a political candidate?
When that candidate makes those beliefs and practices a centerpiece of his campaign, and when he envisions an America closely shaped around them.
