i think the point about ustwo's position is that, as a description of the catholic church in america, he is simply wrong.
as a statement of the positions outlined by jp2 and ratzinger, he is right--but--to the chagrin of the vatican--the two are not identical. it might appear to to ustwo, because i suspect he might agree with this line--but i am not sure about that.
and i wonder if he would have posted that if john kerry was not floating around in the background somewhere.
anyway, i frankly expected ratzinger-cum-benedict to be consistent, so was kind of looking for more pressure to be brought to bear on the us church to get in to line with the vatican--but so far i havent seen much--maybe it's still early.
