Michael Lind thinks we need to reconfigure our political parties around our attitude toward progress.It strikes me that this new two-party system would also leave many Catholics without a home --for obvious reasons, which we DON'T need to discuss here. In other words, THIS IS NOT A POST ON ABORTION.But the underlying question, which I DO want to discuss here, is what is the Catholic idea on progress? It strikes me that it is complicated. Any ideas?
