text: Ideology can be dangerous, but it can also lead to reforms like Social Security and affordable health care. The fight over how much of our life is public, how much is private and whether wealth (and more importantly power) and how are all matters of ideology. Frankly, the ideology of Catholic Social Teaching is a form of demoncratic socialism. It should admit it this and help become an organizing force, like with the unions, but it needs to its own house in order as well and become a bit more internally democratically socialist, including offering hierarchs an exit if they won’t agree.
  
  LSN resisting Cupich is not news. The best hope for real progress on Life is to get it out of the Republican echo chamber. I suspect that the Cardinal’s opponent is part of the problem.
