Did anybody read the areticle from Commonweal that Joseph Komonchak wrote... I happend upon it when I was reading the above referred articles...

I don't have time to make note now--must attend to the wife!--but I read it today and wanted to know if anybody else went through it...

Possibly more later,

Cardinal Ruini sez:

“In the present free and democratic society, such a model seems better able to guarantee the moral foundations of coexistence and, in the last analysis, a common vision of the world, such that the promotion of democracy (specifically of liberty and social cohesion) appears to be a moral imperative in harmony with religious faith, as already affirmed by Alexis de Tocqueville.

Curious how Michael Novak calls de Tocqueville a Catholic Whig in his latest book...
