"Empty Suits"

What happens to a civilization when its leaders—and its people—become nothing more than “empty suits”? In Chalcedon Position Paper No. 189, R.J.

From pulpits to courtrooms to classrooms, the courage to stand for truth has vanished—replaced by comfort, silence, and betrayal. But the problem isn’t just “out there.” Rushdoony asks the uncomfortable question: What about us? Join us for a bracing wake-up call about the high cost of inaction—and why godly responsibility is the only remedy for an age of empty suits.
