I'm not ignorant of this fact, Reggie, and I would hope that the other conservative Non-Catholics would take my letter not in the spirit of exclusion. I simply did not want to clutter up the thought by adding on additional phrases.
A naive hope when you are writing a letter to the editor isn't it? "Anti-Catholic" is far far from an inclusive choice of words. No, no, your choice of words come straight out of the Catholic League book.
Santorum is a Catholic. He was attacked for his Catholic views. So I defended that in these terms. To use a term like "religious right" is overused. People need to hear what it really is.
The overused choice of words is "anti-Catholic". You lose more than 1/2 your audience when you frame your arguments in this manner.
Do you suppose President Bush is hated by the liberal left because they see him as a Catholic?
Only cause you know me would you interpret this as an attack on other conservative religious folks.
You are partially correct.
You are wrong in that I didn't take it as an attack on other conservative religious folks.
You are correct in that it was only because I know you I could pick out your letter without seeing a signature.
You are correct if you think I see you as narrow minded and self centered to the extreme.
You are mistaken if you think I care.
I think most moral folks understand that the Catholic Church is the largest voice and hence the largest target on moral issues. Only a fool thinks the Catholic Church being silenced and marginalized is a good thing for the advancement of moral causes.
