"We need to be aware of the history leading to the current moment. McConahay has done us a great service by laying out the case."

And, of course, as Roberts says, Clarence Thomas, wife Ginni, and Leonard Leo and the corruption of a Supreme Court dominated by hard-right Catholics loom very large large in McConahay's study.

"Catholics today, still recovering from the deep betrayal by bishops in the ongoing sexual abuse scandal, may be reluctant to consider that their church is being further distorted and turned inside out by unseemly forces in their midst. But Catholicism in America is metastasizing into a thoroughly American Catholicism, subservient to the culture's most rapacious instincts."

She writes,

"Money guys are earners. They are comfortable collaborating with predatory capitalists and politicians. They know how to hide money and they tend to lack the scope of intellectual development to dwell on 'scruples' and they adhere rather closely to the 'letter' of what I have begun to call 'the Golf Club Rules.' Any 'cafeteria Catholic'-style deviation from those rules is a detour made for financial or fund-raising reasons."

Michele Somerville's characterization of Baltimore archbishop William Lori, recently elected vp of the US Catholic bishops' conference, is sharp and accurate. The "oleaginous ordinary" of Baltimore is, she tells us, one of the "money guy fixers" among the bishops, who often have to fix things when the "bon vivant" bishops make a mess of things through their high living and self-indulgence.
