Theologian missed his calling as book critic

“There are paragraphs that sound like Ayn Rand, next to paragraphs that sound like THE GRAPES OF WRATH. That's quite intentional."
--Vincent J. Miller of the University of Dayton, commenting on Pope Benedict XVI's latest encyclical CARITAS IN VERITATE to the New York Times. I heard the G8's midnight release party for the book was crazy. That Medvedyev will do anything to get out the nun costume!

What's especially interesting about the encyclical is that it has "conservative" Catholics calling Pope Benedict XVI too liberal.

In a religious sense or a political sense? (I assume it was the former but the article made it seem more like the latter.)
