And I agree about admiring the courage of his convictions, in a general way. I've felt similarly about the Catholic church wrt women in the priesthood and abortion/death penalty issues, where their position is at least consistent, unlike many fundamentalists. But I think Card's conviction is undermined by what I see as a deeply flawed understanding of core Christian doctrine, to me -- but a lot of Christians agree with him, so... Fortunately, a lot of us don't, as well.
