Published June 29, 2009, 10:39 am, National Catholic Reporter
A lot has happened in papal politics since Henry IV, the Holy Roman Emperor, stood barefoot and hatless at the gates of Canossa castle begging pardon from Pope Gregory VII. That was 1,075 years ago while popes were slugging it out with temporal rulers like Henry over who had the right to appoint bishops.

- Time Bombs and Tortured Testicles by Scott Supak: In a variation on the if-torture-is- OK-then-what-a bout-child-tor ture argument, Andrew Sullivan follows the Rape And "Enhanced Interrogation& quot; logic to it's logical conclusion: that rape, in order to get information that saves lives, is OK. That's the thing about Manichean Paranoia: once you do bad things to save good people, you're just another bad person. I've heard this argument from Scott Horton and others ("Is it OK to crush the testicles of the child of the person who knows about the bomb," for example) and it's a good one. What I haven't heard is the obvious conclusion that Republicans have, at least in this argument, succumbed to one of the left's worst traits: relativistic ethics.
