In addressing how conservative Christians are responding to the Kavanaugh allegations in the September 18 issue of Slate, Liberty University English professor Karen Swallow Prior said:
“I don’t expect we will ever know the truth about what did or did not happen. But as an evangelical Christian, I am convinced Dante himself could not have devised a more fitting circle of hell for my faith community than the one in which we find ourselves: being destroyed from the inside out by the sexual sin we spent decades pointing out everywhere but in our own house. For us, this is the real trial.”
