You seem to be a considerably more terrified chap than Sullivan. It all comes down to putting things in perspective, and judgment about what is important, and what isn't, and what is worth commenting on in the public square, and what is intrusive.
Interesting. Then why does Andrew Sullivan keep insisting on his website that Father Michael was a homosexual? Not one person has presented any evidence to support that other than unproven allegation like those used to slander Matt Drudge. I doubt either are homosexuals and find it curious that militant gays are so adamant in claiming others to their lifestyle.
