Pursuing the Vino Media
Here's a zesty (even frothy) contribution to Catholic-Protestant irreligious interreligious apologetics [Freudian slip there!]:
Just what constitutes excess is for each person to judge for himself, I suppose. However, we now approach the main difference between Catholic drinking and Protestant drinking. Protestant drinking occurs at one extreme or another: either way too much or none at all, with each being a reaction to the other. . . .Here we encounter Catholic drinking. Catholic drinking is that third way, the way to engage in an ancient activity enjoyed by everyone from peasants to emperors to Jesus Himself. . . .
Well. It's beyond me how they can identify the "third way" as the Catholic way, ignoring that on such matters involving balance and compromise and moderation, the historic via media (middle way) is always the Anglican way. In the American context, the art of Episcopalian drinking.
