Cardinal Francis George | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: Happy Anniversary to his Emminence.  Hopefully someone will get him a copy of Mary Douglas tome Purity and Danger and Elaine Pagels book on Revelation - which demonstrates that this successor won't be imprisoned any time soon, nor will another be killed.  As for personal liberty as an element of freedom, civic virtue (not evangelization) is its counter balance.  It is not up to the culture to spread the faith - although it would be nice if the Church showed a little civic virtue and set up hospitals for non-violent drug offenders (as opposed to cooperating with Corrections Corporation of America) and a system of non-college prep high schools, rather than leaving this to public education and Head Start.
