David Brooks' column this morning again proves why the NY Times Opinon page continues to be an every-day must-read and why he's one of the reasons for that.
He walks through evidence of the changing status and mindset of American Catholics over the last generation or two. The skinny is that they've become better off in a socioeconomic sense by retaining the good elements of Catholicism but not blind obedience to its more ridiculous ones.
To put it succinctly...Always try to be the least believing member of one of the more observant sects.
Reminds me of a few people who I admire.
