“Fifth century Christians often viewed Rome as a Christian empire, and many American Christians fall into this same trap, talking about the United States as if it’s analogous to the City of God rather than just another manifestation of the City of Man…But that rhetoric wouldn’t have impressed Augustine. His writings reminded readers that Jesus is the world’s last best hope and the Church is the shining city. When these categories get confused, Christians begin to expect more from politics than it can possibly deliver.” – Collin Garbarino
