Tom Barnett is Still Lost in the Wilderness
To complete my triyptych of uncharitability, I have noted with disappointment, though without surprise, that Mr. Barnett has disapproved of the election of Pope Benedict XVI (here and here). For all his brilliance and much else I like about him, I still have to shake my head at his continued blind spot that the "intransigient" Pope John Paul the Great had put his finger on the problem of the Gap a decade before he did, and with sounder philosophical underpinning, culminating in the release of Centesimus Annus. Despite putting his objections in terms of the Pentagon's New Map
, Mr. Barnett has let too many things slip in his blog over time for me not to think rather that he is simply experiencing the common, emotional gut-wrenching of a Cafeteria Catholic.
