Church/State issues have been a hot topic of late given the birth control brouhaha, the Obama Administration’s wider war on the Catholic Church in particular and Christianity more generally, and even Pope Benedict’s visit to Cuba… Alliance Defense Fund has a nice little interview with Eric Metaxas — author of 2010′s Bonhoeffer — on [...]
