Why orthodox Catholics Disagree
As a few readers have noticed, over the past week I have found myself disagreeing with Eric Johnson a couple times on this blog in terms of a couple of social issues. Since judging from a couple emails I’ve received a few people are reading too much into this, I would simply paraphrase something either Belloc or Chesterton once said. Basically, only faithful Catholics can have a good disagreement. After all, Protestants and Liberals cannot agree on enough common principles to disagree on anything worth noting.
So I continue to highly respect Eric as a competent and orthodox Catholic writer, especially after he voiced the discomfort many of us have come to feel about New Oxford Review‘s direction in the last couple years. Also, I’m looking forward to reading his contribution to Home at Last, which knowing Eric and Rossalind Moss, ought to be excellent!
