MoDo ...
took anti-Catholic-bitchery-as-commentary to a new low ... Dowdian fundamentalism involves an irrational and empirically unsustainable belief in the sexual revolution.

Catholic ping. Since the title takes care of the MoDo ping.

Gay marriage is the only shot MoDo has of EVER wearing a bridal gown.

the sexual revolution has been a snare and a delusion for a) women, b) children, c) men, d) marriage, e) family stability, and f) the countrys political cultureThis.
Guess it's too long for a tagline, eh?

As a Catholic I’d have to say that the earlier forms of anti-Caholicism were largely of our own making for being so un-Christian towards people like Martin Luther. And because Church leadership kept taking sides in political battles which they often lost.
Dowd’s form is rooted in the raging anger of Libertines that the Church forms one of the last major roadblocks in the way of their George Soros-style “open society”.

“As a Catholic Id have to say that the earlier forms of anti-Caholicism were largely of our own making...”
Actually, I find this statement to be somewhat exaggerated. As sinful human beings, Catholics (like all humans) have made mistakes and have chosen what is wrong. However, I think the majority of anti-Catholicism comes from another, far more insidious source.

As for Maureen Dowd, well, the Light is always on for her, too as she would discover if she ever took the trouble to get to know men like Archbishop Timothy Dolan. Archbishop Dolan is a wonderful man, and Mo Do couldn't help but like him, if she gave him half a chance. We miss him in Milwaukee.

You could just use “the sexual revolution has been a snare and a delusion”.

If “Catholic” Maureen Dowd is the face of a new form of anti-Catholicism, what does that make Margaret Sanger and Madeline Murray O’Hare? Former and dissatisfied Catholics are always the most virulent anti-Catholic bigots—not to mention the most dangerous.

” . . . Id have to say that the earlier forms of anti-Caholicism were largely of our own making for being so un-Christian towards people like Martin Luther. And because Church leadership kept taking sides in political battles which they often lost.”
Whoa . . . if I remember correctly, Martin Luther, among other PROTESTants, took sides against Catholicism. Right or wrong, ecumenically speaking, there’s a DIFFERENCE. If there weren’t, there would be no sides.

While small pockets of Protestant anti-Catholicism can still be found in the fever swamps of the contemporary American religious world,...Like here, on FR.

Whoa....and if I remember my history correctly, Martin Luther did not chose sides, he stood on the principles of God’s Word,....the Cheif leaders kicked him out (excommunicated).
Martin Luther did not want to leave the Catholic Church, he had no choice, unless he denied the truth!
Protestant or Catholic, we must chose to serve the living God, even if you are type-cast as anti-catholic or anti-protestant.
Maybe we should make the same choice as Joshua. “...choose you this day whom ye will serve,....But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” (Joshua 24:15)

I'm thrilled that we got up to reply #15 before this happy 'ecumenical' perspective was posted.
About Luther we have two legends and these are not too far apart: according to one, popular among rightist Catholics, there is a straight line from Luther to the French Revolution, Marx, and Lenin; the other one, enthusiastically affirmed by many Reformed Christians, claims that Luther and Calvin are responsible for democracy, republicanism, freedom, Enlightenment, progress, individualism, and perhaps also socialized medicine, psychoanalysis, "freelove" and the Manchester School of Economics. These concepts are not so different because mutually the one is the caricature of the other.

Dowd should simply look at the Catholic vote and realize they are not her enemy, she probably doesn’t know that little fact.
