I left the following in Mark Shea's comment box for this blog entry. I'm sure his Imperial Highness will not be pleased:
I am not at all convinced that Kerry would do anything much different from Bush on Iraq (his stated plans certainly aren't significantly different from Bush's), but if I were so convinced, I'd likely vote for Kerry. The Bushies have so badly screwed the pooch on this war.
There you go. Rod Dreher would vote for a pro-abortion candidate if he held the "right" views about Iraq.
Sad. I really don't care for Dreher's opinions any longer. His caustic remarks about the American bishops (re: the Scandal) appear to lack charity (IMHO I'm unable to find charity, I sure hope Rod's defenders can point the charitable comments out to me). I can't help but think that this poor man has a distorted view of the world. It's too "realistic."
It's also sad that Mark considers this man's remarks as worthy of mention in his blog, just because they happen to agree about Iraq.

He seems drawn to the traditions (rather than Traditions) of Catholicism in a way that almost seems to be part of a New Age mentality. "Incense and Latin are retro, so they must be cool and liking them must make me holier, so my thinking must be justified." To hell with actual Church teaching, says Dreher, since he never buggered an altar server nor denied anyone a Latin Mass, so I am better/smarter than the bishops and can go my own way.
