False Morality and False Reform

What if the real moral crisis behind today’s lawsuits and social reforms isn’t corporate corruption—but the death of personal responsibility? In Chalcedon Position Paper No. 92: “False Morality and False Reform,” R.J. Rushdoony challenges both conservatives and liberals with a piercing question: Are we justifying sin in the name of justice? From tobacco lawsuits to victim-culture protests, Rushdoony traces how modern society has inverted morality—replacing repentance with blame, and true reform with legal theater. Join us as we unpack the difference between Biblical justice and the counterfeit morality of an age desperate to call sinners “victims.”
