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.
Thanks for your clarification. Jeff J. is one of the ablest socially-conservative Jewish columnists; even when I disagree with him, I always think he's worth my time and attention.
