I so love the Anchoress. I have not visited this week because I am big Huckabe supporter. The Anchoress, who is a very good Catholic, sort of liked Fred Thompson and was not thrilled with Huckabee. A lot of the people that comment there liked him too. That sort of validates a theory of mine perhaps. That Fred Thompson was a man that we all sort of projected ourselves on and thought that was the guy. Well it turned out not to be the case
That was cool.
I just did not want to get all excited and fill her comments secton with Huckabee apologetics when someone went off on Huckabee. My tension level has been high on this issue :).
Still she is the cool calming voice. See people can support their "guy" and see the bigger picture. I think there are many more Anchoress's and Opinionated Catholics than there are the purity warriors that follow Rush Limbaugh , talk radio, and the echo chambers of the blogs. I saw a wonderful comment today on what the Anchoress was talking about over at some blog. I saved it. He said:
Dame Agnes, Dame Maura, Dames Ursula, Beatrice, Colette, Catherine: each in turn seemed focussed in a strong light that, while it showed their virtues, showed each blemish, too, “as if none of them will do,” said Hilary.
“One must,” said Philippa. “It will resolve itself.”
Dame Ursula endorsed that…”it is very grave; so much so that it seems as if there’s no one who can fill Lady Abbess’ place, but remember God never asks us to do something without giving us the strength. Becoming Abbess will call out qualities in the one chose, that we - and she - do not think she possesses.”
“It will need to,” said Philippa…”it will be very hard coming after [the beloved predecessor]
This election will, indeed, resolve itself. You itself. You can either be part of that process, helping the matter resolve in America’s best interests, or you can be the displeased, bench-sitting inveterate, clinging to a ticket to “Perfection-land” while bus after bus passes you by. America is not going to wait for you; while you dither and sniffle, she is moving forward. If you want any say at all as to where she goes, you cannot remain seated on your bench.
