Thirty years ago I was taught in Catholic school about the evils of war, capital punishment, and abortion in equal measure. And about the need for social justice and reducing poverty.

I sat in the pastor's office one day and saw his bookshelves -- which had plenty of Chomsky and liberation theology and social justice topics.
