Thoughts on Cardinal Oscar's Talk | National Catholic Reporter

Thoughts on Cardinal Oscar's Talk | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: Cardinal Oscar's comments sound like liberation theology - or at least libertarian socialism (aka mutualism).  Both Francis and Benedict would be comfortable with these.  George Weigel and Pope John Paul II, not so much.  Burke and Chaput, probably not at all!  As for Acton, I could care less how they react.  They are only important in their own eyes (although they should change their name, as Lord Acton, the enemy of papal infallibility, would hardly approve - nor would Susan B. Anthony approve of how her name is used by the fund that bears it).  As for MSW - try to keep Oscar's comments in mind when deciding whether to defend the bishops' misguided efforts at religious liberty for themselves alone.
