On leaving the GOP to fix it

Andrew,

Your eloquence about staying out of the GOP (most recently, in your reaction to Frum) is solid stuff. I only wish you would apply the same reasoning to your membership in the Catholic Church. The Church commits the same sins as the GOP but yet adds to it an ethical and moral authority just as damning to you.

Frum merely applies your "stay in the Church" reasoning to the GOP.

BTW, I'm a hetero white male, a moderate liberal, and a Catholic churchgoer as well. And I pray for you, Andrew, for all the misplaced hell you have to go through as you seek to follow your faith. And I pray that the Church will, within our lifetimes, live up to the faith you place in it.

Your pal,

Fred
