between competing power interests. Multicultural ideology justifies the dominance of elites who are committed to "hearing all
voices," "listening to the marginalized," and "promoting diversity." These therapeutic expressions of pseudo-solidarity insulate
elites from substantive criticism. Those who challenge them are
dismissed as enemies of diversity-racists, bigots, xenophobes.
However misguided in their attachment to the god term diversity, Tom and Karen desire something worthwhile. Solidarity
stems from our free assent to unity in the service of a common
end. The players on a high school sports team achieve a strong
bond through their shared commitment to making the sacrifices
necessary to play well and win. Citizens and neighbors committed
to sustaining good schools, safe streets, and well-tended parks
enjoy a similar bond. National solidarity is not the fruit of diversity. It grows out of common loyalty to our founding principles,
identification with our shared history, and the commitment to
preserving our heritage for the next generation.
For a religious person, the most perfect expression of solidarity
is worship. The church unites around praise of God, our highest
end. This unity is not theoretical. Unlike the "international community," which does not exist as a genuine form of solidarity,
the Christian community has a genuinely international scope. An
evangelical from Dallas can travel to Uganda or China and join
in a spiritual communion with his fellow Christians, sharing the
Word of God and entering into a fellowship of prayer. The same
goes for Catholics, whose church uses the same pattern of liturgical worship throughout the world. When I attend Mass in another
country, celebrated in a language I don't understand, I kneel and
pray not among strangers but among brothers, with whom I pray
to our common Father.
