THE ANCHORESS: Podesta and the Clinton camp’s unwitting compliment to Catholicism.

I remember the dark ages of America, when a person running for the White House would tell voters, “I am wholly opposed to the state being used by any religious group, Catholic or Protestant, to compel, prohibit, or persecute the free exercise of any other religion.”

Sounds like a pretty reactionary, Rethuglican sort of brute. Good thing we’ve evolved beyond that sort of backwards thinking.
