In the March 2009 issue of "First Things," George Weigel, a Catholic scholar, as an extremely good article on the recent election. Among the things he said was that it appears Americans voted for an American idol candidate; we having become so interested in "reality" television. Of course, some of this was a reaction to the previous administration. Polished, well dressed, speaks with clarity, these are what many wanted, not someone who stumbled through words and was from, of all places, Texas.
Of course, I read ads for preachers and of late many want the same style, able to speak well, exciting, communicates to all........an American idol as our preacher. Wow! I just can't wait to see where that all leads.
