re: The evangelical right is also melting

I think I understand what you mean. And I agree to an extent. That being said, I think the Catholic Church today has adjusted a lot for the better (no absolutions) or worse (priests diddling kids.)

But there are certain rejections that you're referring to that I think aren't in modern Christianity for a reason.

Would probably be a better conversation over beer if you'd ever not be an arse and go grab beer with me.
