Fr. Cessario's Edgardo Mortara essay is inexcusable

MGB:_Relitigating the kidnapping of the Mortara boy is silly on both sides. The solution to doing so is to ignore Fr. Cesario and anyone who still carries a torch for probably the stupidest pope in the last 200 years. The good Father likely has tenure anyway, so he can’t be fired. This would have been a better day to exercise a little self-criticism of the pro-life movement and its dark alley of opposing Roe. Like it or not, you cannot repeal Roe without repealing gay marriage, et al. While reactionaries would like to go after the whole list of el als, those of us who stand against tyranny (like kidnapping a Jewish kid and making him a ward) will not stand for it. No more blind alleys, if you please.
