Actions such as those of Corbett are troubling on a deeper, more profound level. He is apparently one of the typical politicians of today who can’t fathom the civilizational crisis that confronts us, or are just caught up in the day-to-day routine tasks of governing—“maintaining,” if you will—and can’t see past them, or simply are governed by the imperatives of politics. For sure, one has to be concerned about these imperatives because after all one has to be at the levers of power in the first place to be able to accomplish anything. Still, if that becomes too much of a focus then power itself easily becomes the end, and the true ends of politics—and of human society and life itself—are lost sight of. —Dr. Stephen Krason writing in Crisis Magazine on the decision by Pennsylvanias Governor Corbett not to appeal the decision by a federal judge to strike down PAs one-man-one-woman marriage laws. blogs.franciscan.edu/faculty/?p=752
