Some excerpts from America magazine's editorial.The sectarians’ targets are frequently Catholic universities and Catholic intellectuals who defend the richer, subtly nuanced, broad-tent Catholic tradition. Their most recent target has been the University of Notre Dame and its president, John Jenkins, C.S.C., who has invited President Barack Obama to offer the commencement address and receive an honorary degree at this year’s graduation.
The divisive effects of the new American sectarians have not escaped the notice of the Vatican. Their highly partisan political edge has become a matter of concern. That they never demonstrate the same high dudgeon at the compromises, unfulfilled promises and policy disagreements with Republican politicians as with Democratic ones is plain for all to see. It is time to call this one-sided denunciation by its proper name: political partisanship.

Here are some excerpt's from Father Z's rebuttal of America editorial.
What editor of America is really saying is that Catholics ought to be able to believe anything and their opponents should just shut up. This what Pope Benedict meant by the dictatorship of relativism.
The writer has claimed to be the proper interpreter of the Church’s teaching. He now goes on to politicize the issue. The editor of America will try to persuade you that those who oppose pro-abortion Catholics are doing so from political motives rather than doctrinal. They have already called them terrorists.
