That MP3 looks rather long, but I'll try to finish listening to it over the weekend. Yes, I am familiar with the Catholic Worker Movement, though more in its history than in its modern incarnation.

I don't a solid definition, but I do have a solid example: http://longnow.chubbo.net/salt-feb02005-kennedy/salt-feb02005-kennedy.mp3 Also, I can make vague descriptive flailings if you think it would be helpful. As a very crude shorthand, you the difference is believing that reaching openly to enable the least of these is more Christ-like than the vision of a stern protector, bunkering his family and friends in provisions while waiting for the end times[1]. To me, the cross symbolizes the of dropping all defences, arms wide open, from a position of ultimate power. Footnotes: [1]George Lakoff takes an astoundingly crude stab at understanding this as a political difference in this talk (http://www.uctv.tv/search-details.asp?showID=11194).

Also, http://hilbertastronaut.blogspot.com/ is a friend of mine who do some great Catholic things. I think that if you wanted to reorganize the Catholic Church to be managed bottom-up instead of top-down, you'd end up with something very nearly Mennonite.

Perhaps we could make the author's headshot appear beside his comments? (And I like my 3D-glasses man, thank you.) John, what makes a religious progressive these days? That concept has changed (progressed?) so much over the last few centuries that I hardly know how to take it, anymore. I was undecided whether the white areas were for the author (Mark) or for Kevin.
