>>In discussing the late pope and traditional Christians, Meyerson tosses about insults like “benighted,” “tribal” and “Phobics.” He charges the Catholic Church with “backwardness,” and draws a direct parallel between Catholic teaching and “tribal norms” and “traditional morality and bigotry.”<<

I like being backward if this is what it's all about.
Thanks for the Ping!

[“Whether it was the thought of a woman presiding over God’s own country club or gays snuggling under its eaves, it was all too much” for the “Fairfax Phobics,” wrote Meyerson. This is “just the latest chapter in the global revolt against modernism and equality and, more specifically, in the formation of the Orthodox International.”]

I love it when WP writers try to be witty and superior. Meyerson just couldn't resist tying in the Catholic Church to all of this and getting his jibes in, one, two, three, "punch", lol. Meyerson calls it "modernism and equality", typical euphemsitic claptrap. What a moron.
