Thank you for your concise, cogent and thoughtful article regarding Douglas Kmiec. FYI, there is another, more recent, article by Kmiec on the America Magazine website that confirms your observations here and displays the remarkable mental gymnastics involved in Kmiec’s presentation of Catholic principles. His writings present the thought of a man who is lost, exhausted and perhaps even a bit delirious. He desperately wants to believe in President Obama and his vision of hope, like a man adrift at sea. With each new article, as Kmiec labors to defend Obama, he appears more and more to be a man who has jumped ship and is now slowly floating away from the Catholic Faith toward the alluring, seductive, siren sounds of Obama’s empty rhetoric. What good is excellent oratorical skill if you have nothing substantive to say? Obama’s position on life issues simply looks good to Kmiec. The truth of the matter says otherwise.

Keep up the good work. All that is required for evil to flourish is for good men (and women) to do (and say) nothing.
