Response to Mark of Minute Particulars
Mark from Minute Particulars offers a thoughtful response to my previous post on Catholic disagreement w/ the Vatican over Iraq and further reflections on the semantics of "dissent" and "disagreement". In the latter part of his post Mark expresses his deep concern at the words and actions of various as yet unidentified "Catholic pundits", online or in print:
Mark: Thank you, for offering your thoughts on this matter. If there is anything in this blog such that would give you this kind of impression -- mea culpa. While I stand by what I've said in my previous post, disputing this war should not be a matter of "looking for loopholes" or cause for "loud and booming dismissals" of the Pope and the statements of our bishops (single or collective); in that I am certainly in complete agreement with you. I do not have much time to write right now, given the hour. But I understand and am most sympathetic to your concerns. (My recent posts were certainly not the last word on this topic, but rather a brief response and correction). Lastly, on this note: I have devoted some of my time this past week to putting together a new website on the just war debate. It is actually modeled after my plodding exploration of the Church's encounter with classical liberalism and, while very much a "work in progress", will hopefully compile a substantial amount of sources from both sides of the debate so as to provide a resource for further research and ground for civilized and respectful discussion by interested parties. *
