Quote of the day

By Rob Vischer

I love this quote from the late lefty Dominican Herbert McCabe, profiled in the current Commonweal.  He advocated socialism, he wrote, "not because I am a Catholic but because I am a socialist."  We I may tend to overemphasize the explanatory power of my faith; it does shape me, but it only defines me in conjunction with many other factors.

This reminds me of a distinction Suzanne Berger made (in an article found in Charles S. Maier, ed., Changing Boundaries of the Political... (1987)), between Left Catholics and a Catholic Left in France, in which case I suppose McCabe would fall into, or is at least close to, the latter category.
