Kennedy the Papist

Ramesh Ponnuru has another outstanding rebuke to Hitchens's veiled anti-Catholicism. Best line:
Hitchens's piece is only seven paragraphs long, yet somehow feels padded. And padded with the most mindless dreck I've ever read from Hitchens, whose coverage of religious issues has been getting lazier by the month. The Ten Commandments, he informs us, do not condemn genocide. (I guess Hitchens is a very strict constructionist.)

Oh, it gets meaner . . .

Hitchens is a lost soul. Some like him because he blasted Clinton and is pretty tough on Islam. He is about as secular and anti-God as you can get.
