First and foremost, I am posting at Free Republic what I consider to be an informative opinion essay by a prominent Catholic writer. That's what Free Republic is for. The reader can make of the article what he or she will.
As for the analogy which Mr. Ferrara makes, it is an analogy, not an equation. I can see some similarity. Analogies do not require a one-to-one correspondence.
Again, please stop making things up. If you don't like Mr. Ferrara's article, fine -- don't agree with him.
The writer made the analogy; I did not. It will stand or fall on its own merits.
