I've got news for you: he's not a Catholic at all. He's the son of a rabbi from Bakersfield, CA and an agnostic Jew. Or Jewish agnostic. (I need a better way to say this, so as not to insult the Jews.)

There's an enlightening article on him here.

He worked for the United Farm Workers for a long time, but now he's just virulently anti-Catholic Church in a weirdly "We Are The Church" kind of way, when he's no such thing.

He's like a person who refuses to marry, and then demands the right to divorce. Or a person who refuses to get pregnant, and then demands the right to abort.

Weird.

Oh, and BTW, he's not the Synagogue, either.

What I mean to sayis, he's a never-been-Catholic who demands the right to be a fallen-away Catholic!

Fallen-away Catholic has gotto be the second-largest religious group in America. Second to Catholic.

LOL! Curiouser and curiouser.

Denis Praeger uses Secular Jew. I don’t think “agnostic Jew” would be offensive.

You don’t mean to offend, so don’t sweat it.
