Condi's on a path, clearly (just like the rest of us). She got her Master's at Notre Dame, so there's been at least some exposure to catholic thought. Though far from a torrent, it's my sense that the best of evangelicalism is returning home (to Christ's Catholic Church), and the current administration has a number of notables that evince catholic thought and praxis. From where I sit (10,000 miles away), I get a sense that the Holy Spirit is slowly but inexorably bringing catholics and future-catholics into positions of influence, almost as if preparing for a Coming Showdown (though I'm of the Realized Eschaton school). GWB's brother's conversion seems sincere. Blair seems to he heading that way, albeit via his wife's wish-washy new-agey schlock. After all, it took that 4th C African-Roman quite a while to shed his manichaenism...
Despite misgivings, I'm a Condi fan. I hope she grows into a real and effective counter to Hillary in 2008.
