about this site
Catholic Sensibility is a personal blog by a Catholic layperson with comments and occasional other writings by Catholics and non-Catholics. We make no particular claims to have the completeness of a Roman Catholic expression of Christianity. It contains opinion, interpretation, and personal musings. That’s it. Nothing official or authoritatively connected to the Magisterium.

Open Book 2: Conservatives On Top
Rod Dreher continues multiple blog posts on things. This is today’s latest. Two quotes from him:
Correction: virtuous conservative Catholics. By definition, conservative Catholicism adopts some or all of these: slowing Vatican II or rolling it back, pro-institution, the culturewar, authority, obedience, faithfulness, the red and black, a vigorous anti-abortion stance for public consumption. Among other things.
Those other things might include secrecy, but I think some progressives have their secrets too. A mature believer of any ideological stripe would agree that lies, secret lives, and the victimization of others is wrong. Heck, most atheists would agree to that. There would seem to be no extraordinary virtue in that.
These days I’m inclined to think there’s no extraordinary virtue in being conservative, orthodox, faithful, or whatever adjective one wants to place on herself or himself.
