The Theocons

 

I read Damon Linker's new book, " Theocons," reviewed today in the NYT by Adrian Wooldridge, a while back in proofs. It's the most comprehensive analysis and take-down of the theocon set around - from an insider who knows them intimately. Linker worked at First Things until quite recently and  saw first-hand the extremism and intolerance at the heart of the theoconservative project - and its reach into the White House. Among the most striking revelations is that then-Cardinal Ratzinger actually urged the American bishops in the 2004 campaign to formally deny communion to Catholic Democratic pro-choice candidates, and was scuppered only by some adroit maneuvring from the American Catholic bishops.
