Donald Cardinal Wuerl and the Church's importance for Society

Michael Strain writes at National Review about a Conference held at AEI "two weeks ago on the intersection of Roman Catholic thought and U.S. public policy and culture."  He has links to video of several of the talks.

I was most impressed by the talk by Donald Cardinal Wuerl.  Near the end of his prepared remarks he spoke of an encounter he observed between the Mayor and a youngster at a gathering about at risk kids.  The Mayor asked the 14 yr old:  why do you find it so easy to be so violent?  The kid responded:
How come you get to draw the line?

A telling telling point!

Watch his entire talk.  He speaks of this encounter at about 45 minutes into his talk.

The entire 5 hour conference can be viewed in the video below, but the link above starts at Cardinal Wuerl's talk.
