A blog inspired by my favorite concept from Catholic social teaching, "the preferential option for the poor," which lies at the core of two flawed institutions to which I am loyal, the Democratic Party and the Catholic Church.

Change!
Well, whaddya know? Change is the mantra here, too. Except they have a "plan" for change.
I went to a so-called "fringe" event today where a panel discussed what policies needed to go into a conservative "manifesto" for the next election. Funny how political debates with British accents sound so elevated. Still, the discussion confirmed what we know, which is that the British Conservatives are more like American moderate Republicans. I think our mainstream Republicans would be considered religious kooks over here.
