If George Washington Was Alive Today, He'd Be a Yankees Fan
22 June 2005
The blogger responsible for the Ratzinger Fan Club -- a name he claimed before the object of his affection became Pope Benedict XVI -- presents a short investigation of the Catholic idea of "preferential option for the poor," from a conservative perspective. Verdict: If Dorothy Day was alive today, she'd be a neocon. This smacks of the approach that argues that MLK would oppose affirmative action. Crass recruitment of the dead for contemporary causes? Sure. Provocative speculative journalism? Definitely.
