Some Legal Scholar Who Thinks He’s a Theologian

writes a silly blog entry in which he holds forth on the Catholic Church and proves that, as a theologian, he’s a legal scholar.

Stephen Bainbridge, who is a legal scholar and a Catholic who actually knows what he’s talking about, offers gentle counsel and correction in this hour of embarrassing spectacle.

Then, after some thought, he revisits Posner’s daft kibitzing and takes it apart with rather more gusto.

Posner’s dumb remarks are one more pebble thrown on the Himalayas of evidence that it is impossible to simply be neutral about the Catholic Faith. Jesus Christ has friends and enemies. He has no mere “observers”.
