Just returned from wandering through the site of The National Catholic Reporter, the premier mouthpiece of American liberal Catholicism, where it's always 1968. Very funny stuff.
Fragment from an old seminar on Luther I attended in graduate school: The one kind of heretic that he, himself a heretic!, could not stand were what he called schwaermer, enthusiasts or fanatics. Plenty of them over there at NCR, on staff and in the comments.
Comments on the internet are rarely anything but chilling (Ex Cathedra's fine commentors excepted!). The NCR comments threads are no exception, however. Such a lot of deeply opinionated and stupid, half-read people.
Half of them should become Episcopalians, the other half Unitarians.
