In which Amy Sullivan says something really . . . incorrect

Amy Sullivan is the author of "The Party Faithful," in which she contends that the Democrats are shrinking the "God gap."  We'll see.  In any event, in this Time magazine piece -- yet another exploration of the "divisions" among Catholics on abortion -- she writes, "[i]n a hierarchical tradition like Catholicism, debates don't happen very often."  Good Lord.  What a silly thing to say.
