re: #136 Decatur Deb

All that is consistent with my ’50s Baltimore Catechism drill. Note that individual catholic politicians, not theologians, drop happily into creationist ideas much like those of some protestants. Item: Jindal.

There’s a whole group of Catholics out there who seem to flock to weird conservative Protestant ideas, and without being rude to Jindal, I note that there are a lot of converts who seem attracted to such things.

There’s also the Latin mass people, the Pius X people, the anti-Vatican II people, the homeschooling because the local Catholic school isn’t hardcore enough people, the alternative Pope people…it’s quite a crowd out there.
