Why? Because Jacoby is seriously interested in defending and preserving the Judeo-Christian foundations of civilization, and the most significant worldwide defender of those foundations happens to be the Catholic Church.
As a Catholic, I consider Jacoby to be a valued dialog partner --- in Jesus' words, "A true Israelite, in whom there is no guile."
I have no problem with Jeff Jacoby whatsoever; my previous posts about "Catholic bashing" were intended to address a particular trend I have been seeing in some conservative circles. I was responding to DaGMan's statement that he gets "really tired of the constant attacks on [his] church," and did not mean my concurrence to be an assault against Jacoby. I guess I got a bit off topic. As regards Mr. Jacoby, I disagree with his article, but do not have any personal antagonism towards him. I apologize for my lack of clarity if my posts (which were not about Jacoby himself) appeared to convey that message.
