The religious were never *for* liberal values. They agreed to live by liberal values whenever they were too weak to impose their views on others without massive and prolonged bloodshed--and sometimes it required massive and prolonged bloodshed to demonstrate to them that they were to weak to achieve victory.
But to say that we must compromise on education for liberalism in order to make the anti-liberal faithful--those who compare the _Boston Globe's_ coverage of Bernard Law to Diocletian's torture-murder of John of Patmos--happy is to commit a serious political error.
