Here's Keller again

So I was apparently the only atheist in the world who found Bill Keller's column about Catholicism to be sane and sensible. (Leads to his original column, along with my short post.) I stick by my opinion and, frankly, I wonder what's wrong with the faculties of all those bloggers who trashed it. Keller is chastising the church for being idiotic -- just like we do.

Confirming my good opinion, Keller expanded on his column today in a blog post. Look, I'm as shocked as anyone. Bill Keller is usually a monster. But he's got this one pegged. If he's trashing anyone, it's the popey guy. I don't get it. Why don't lefty bloggers see this?

And now for something completely different

The other day I wrote approvingly about Bill Keller's column on Catholics, nuns and the popey guy. Armando at Kos has a very different reaction. He sees Keller's column as a diss directed at progressive Catholics.

What's your take on this?

Of all things

I was surprised to see a good op-ed by Bill Keller at the NYT this morning. It's about the Roman Catholic church, Bill Donohue and American nuns. If this topic interests you, give it a read.
