Catholics and the left

An interesting discussion on the history of the relationship between Catholics and the Left from Taki Radio, entitled "John Zmirak on Catholics and the Left" - (download podcast, 4th down, available 8 May). It includes the observation that Prohibition was primarily about assimilating catholics to protestant virtue!

But politics have moved on and we are living in the post-sixties world. There is the connection between the Kennedy's and legalised abortion; Zmirak discusses how Catholic institutions are sidling up with the powers-that-be and Obama, the homogeneity of diversity, liberal bishops and the way the pro-life legislative movement is all but finished.
