ok...
Liberalism is a religion, Chris Matthews is a Cardinal in that Church of Liberalism. He is obviously not following JPs view since last night he blasted deem and pass. Mother Jones is another bastion of liberalism and I posted a column from there earlier where they also blast deem and pass

I got that part of it. But since I know little of religion maybe that's my problem.

I don't really get that. IIRC, Cardinals oversee some larger group of clerics. They are like upper level middle managers, or something. I could see Howard Dean being a Cardinal. Mathews is just a blowhard. I'd think he's be more like a pastor or a priest. Drawing religious analogies to politics just confuses me I guess.

WRT Mother Jones, does anybody read that?
