Reading about reactions to Mel Gibson's "Passion", I was inspired to write a short item.
Gibson's film, a reflection of his faith, has clearly struck a nerve with believers, I would say. But "faith" is not what's needed these days. We need "good works."
This morning I picked up the latest Newsweek, which reports that George W. Bush "leads and runs unapologetically on faith."
That moves the subject - faith - from the religious to the societal. in that context, Americans have much too much faith and much too little doubt.
