George Weigel dissects the corpse that is liberal Catholicism

It's a good read, in typical Weigel fashion.  Like 'liberals' of every background, those Catholics who cleaved unto the more noble promises of liberalism are going to have to wake up to the fact that the thing they call liberalism is dead, and has been replaced by a gross mutant, an abomination that combines much of the worst of history's most heinous and evil movements.  It would do a service to the best that liberalism had to offer if those who still hold to the title admit that evil can occur left of center, and is beginning to reveal itself in clear ways so that there will be no excuse when it has fully arrived.
