Remind me never to get on the wrong side of Dale Price. Dale takes his wit (which is a lethal weapon in all fifty states) to the National Catholic Reporter yet again. The existence of the NCR can almost be justified just by the fodder it feeds Dale. Like Dom when I first read the NCR article I wondered where in the world would you start with fisking it? I thought for sure that it was a Diagones produced parody and was surprised to find it wasn’t. Anyway I highly recommend Dale’s post.

After reading NCR essay, I am convinced that when all is said and done, I will be praying TO Abena, and praying FOR the NCR essayist.
Egads. Is THIS what they’re calling “Catholic journalists” these days? This isn’t a column; a real columnist would have done two stories – one on the disagreement among women about ordination (which the conversation isn’t totally about) and one about the tremendous faith of an aquaintance.
Beyond that, it’s really sad to see a jealous tantrum masquerading as righteous anger. “Equal faith”, my right eyeball. Abena’s got a gift of unshaken faith and the intestinal fortitude to follow the Lord where He leads. That condescension is just empty pride.
