Garnett on Governance | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: Certain Catholic politicians listen more to Ayn Rand then to Catholic Social Teaching.  Sadly, one of them is leading negotiations on the budget.  I would rather he be excommunicated or denied Communion than Nancy Pelosi or Joe Biden.  Allowing abortion is one thing.  Evicerating Food Stamps so the poor families must actually procure one is much worse.  I am not against all libertarianism.  If the libertarian structure redirects public money - or even tax receipts - to a more effective religious organization to provide services that is not a bad thing (with the possible exception of adoption services - which tend to thrive on placing the children of white teenagers or drug users with new families without first facilitating  way for the mother to keep the child on a long term basis).
