CST in the Washington Post

Readers will perhaps have seen this piece by Michael Gerson in today's Washington Post discussing the current and past compositions of House Catholics (there are roughly an equal number in total, but the percentage of Republican Catholics increased considerably in the last election).

Gerson discusses the possible effect of Catholic political and social thought on the fortunes of various ideological and policy issues.  Here's an interesting line from the article: "A revolutionary populism has seldom been the Catholic style - especially since Catholics have often been the victims of such populism in American history."
