Why You Should Never Listen to Andrew Sullivan | National Catholic Reporter

Why You Should Never Listen to Andrew Sullivan | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: I actually found it interesting.  I am sure the video was fun.  They actually seem to agree with the difference between Christianity as ethics (which should be determined by natural law - however they and I would not give the Pope a preferential place in interpreting it) and belief in those things, like the incarnation and the resurrection that must be known by faith.  This is where the Church does have an absolute role in both finding and compelling agreement and orthodoxy - although they have more room to state authoritatively about the nature of God than they do the historic Jesus or the truth of the Old Testament.  I think the point that to have the Crucifixion you must have both the Incarnation and the Resurrection is valid.  In essence, it all comes to the empty tomb - but it must also include the full manger.
