For those of you not acquainted with "The Catholic Thing," please be aware that Fr. Robert Imbelli would be considered a left-wing progressive by the majority of folks who either write for or read that blog, if they really understood what he was saying. This theologian is worthy of deep reading. MSW may well be correct in what he writes as a critique of Imbelli, but if the folks who read "The Catholic Thing" would seriously parse what Imbelli writes, visitors to and commentators on that blog might undergo a subtle change in tone from the screed that one usually finds there.
