Dear CV Friend,

I've been meaning to write to you about this...

It was one of the most fearless and clarifying speeches on
religion and politics by a government official in recent memory.

And people are still talking about it.

Earlier this month, Attorney General William Barr visited the
University of Notre Dame and delivered a devastating critique of
the so-called "progressive" agenda.

"We have seen the steady erosion of our traditional
Judeo-Christian moral system and a comprehensive effort to drive
it from the public square," Barr said.

And what has this erosion done to our society?

Barr didn't hold back: "By any honest assessment, the
consequences of this moral upheaval have been grim. Virtually
every measure of social pathology continues to gain ground."

The attorney general then cited increases in illegitimacy, mental
illness, drug overdoses, suicide rates, and an increase in
senseless violence.

Progress anyone?

"And yet the forces of secularism, ignoring these tragic results,
press on with even greater militancy."

Barr made clear that we can no longer simply wait for the
pendulum to swing back. That's because, as he explained,
secularists have "marshaled all the force of mass communications,
popular culture, the entertainment industry, and academia in an
unremitting assault on religion and traditional values."

And those who push back against this relativism face social
ridicule and the loss of our livelihoods.

But one of the biggest problems today, Barr noted, is that
so-called "progressives" have used the state "as the alleviator
of bad consequences," which prevents our society from snapping
back to sanity:

"So the reaction to growing illegitimacy is not sexual
responsibility, but abortion.

"The reaction to drug addiction is safe injection sites.

"The solution to the breakdown of the family is for the State to
set itself up as the ersatz husband for single mothers and the
ersatz father to their children.

"The call comes for more and more social programs to deal with
the wreckage. While we think we are solving problems, we are
underwriting them.

"We start with an untrammeled freedom and we end up as dependents
of a coercive state on which we depend."

Thank you, Attorney General Barr!

Isn't it great to have a stalwart, pro-life Catholic as our
attorney general?

BOOKMARK THIS: His entire speech is exceptional, and I would
recommend you spend 30-40 minutes to watch it on YouTube:

Thankfully, the attorney general is not simply detailing the
decline.

In fact, he is marshalling the legal resources of the Justice
Department to vigorously defend our constitutionally-protected
right to religious freedom in federal courts across the country.

On this note, Barr made it clear: "As long as I am Attorney
General, the Department of Justice will be at the forefront of
this effort, ready to fight for the most cherished of our
liberties: the freedom to live according to our faith."

No wonder the media is going crazy over this speech!

But for all this praise of Bill Barr, I would be remiss if I
didn't mention the one regret I had when he returned to lead the
Justice Department in February 2019.

I wish he had been there two years earlier.

Brian
