I think Meehan's book should be read by more people. (I guess that is my job to try to get that done...) I really appreciate the feedback.Jim Curleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02225590468579353857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8771934.post-1133534175500368492005-12-02T09:36:00.000-05:002005-12-02T09:36:00.000-05:00You are right about the "de-Catholicization" of Am...You are right about the "de-Catholicization" of American Catholics. I suspect Roe v. Wade would no longer be the law of the land if Catholics voted enmasse with the Church's clear teaching. Certainly Clinton and his two supreme court justices wouldn't have been elected & selected. <BR/><BR/>I read Meehan's book and it is a wonderful, enlightening read. In clear fashion he outlines what went wrong and, more importantly, what can be done to fix it. I've read McInerney's "What Went Wrong with Vatican 2" and Trowler's "Turmoil and the Truth" and Meehan's was the best of the three in diagnosis and cure.TShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17118362963139092279noreply@blogger.com
