Alan Sears: Mount Soledad decision underscores threat to U.S. war memorials

ADF President and CEO Alan Sears writing at Inside the Issues: “Paul warned the Christians of Corinth that the cross would always be ‘a stumbling block’ and ‘foolishness’ (1 Corinthians 1:22) to the people around them. He told the Philippians that there were many who act as ‘enemies of the cross of Christ (Philippians 3:18).’ That opposition took a significant new legal hold in a ruling issued January 4th by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. The court ruled 3-0 that the memorial cross that has stood at Mount Soledad since 1954 violates the U.S. Constitution.”
