Here's another update for what I might entitle the "wheat'n'chaff" report. You will know them by their cowardice and their sniveling kowtowing to the status quo. Cowardice we recently observed from the diocese of Charleston, SC, in the silencing of Fr. Newman. Kowtowing comes from the National Catholic Register which rushed to praise the new president-elect (click here).

We at the Register were very focused on the life issue, and will remain so. But we always knew John McCain was no pro-life hero (he supports using taxpayer money to fund fatal experiments on embryos) and though we disagree on much, we always liked Obama.

He is a civil, decent man. His historic election is exciting in that it hails, we hope, the end of an era when race was factored into decisions it had nothing to do with.

How sweet! The Legionaries-owned publication, supposedly a "conservative" outfit, grovels without provocation the morning after the election. Are they closet leftists and pro-aborts, or just cowards? Does this signal the direction of the Novus-Ordo American Church? Stay tuned.
