I thought Pelagius' denied original sin and said that we don't need divine grace for salvation. I don't know if he was anything like a modern civil libertarian as Hawley seems to think.

Uh, babies & bathwater are

Uh, babies & bathwater are pretty easily separated every day. It's those rash volatile motions that in general cause the troubles (cf N Ireland), not seeing the forest for the trees or the baby for the bathwater - more a problem of myopia or obsessive (selective) focus. But then, that's the trademark of the GOP, so waddaya expect?

Interesting point Thanks

If he doesn't like Pelagius, Hawley better ditch all the Deists amongst the Founders who bought into all that "pursuit of happiness" stuff.

The baby and the bathwater are not so easily parted. A person can only represent the intentions and desires of some others if that person gives voice to what is hoped to be heard. If the only truth available comes from outside of those people being represented, that cancels the whole enterprise.

Even Cromwell didn't try to play that game.

Josh Hawley

In multiple speeches, an interview and a widely shared article for Christianity Today, Mr. Hawley has explained that the blame for society’s ills traces all the way back to Pelagius — a British-born monk who lived 17 centuries ago. In a 2019 commencement address at the King’s College, a small conservative Christian college devoted to “a biblical worldview,” Mr. Hawley denounced Pelagius for teaching that human beings have the freedom to choose how they live their lives and that grace comes to those who do good things, as opposed to those who believe the right doctrines.

The most eloquent summary of the Pelagian vision, Mr. Hawley went on to say, can be found in the Supreme Court’s 1992 opinion in Planned Parenthood v. Casey. Mr. Hawley cited Justice Anthony Kennedy’s words reprovingly. “At the heart of liberty,” Justice Kennedy wrote, “is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life.” The fifth-century church fathers were right to condemn this terrifying variety of heresy, Mr. Hawley argued: “Replacing it and repairing the harm it has caused is one of the challenges of our day.”
