Archbishop takes a reluctant turn in the spotlight

Read it.
When the D.C. Council votes Tuesday on a historic measure to legalize same-sex marriage in the District, one of the most visible faces of opposition will be an unlikely one: Catholic Archbishop Donald W. Wuerl, a mild-mannered man known for compromise, pragmatism and working behind the scenes.
That’s what happens with ‘compromise’ and ‘pragmatism’, which is prog-speak for ‘giving in’. Eventually you reach a point where you either (a) sell out completely, and the angels weep for you, or (b) you suddenly discover that the slippery slope is more slippery than you realized, and you go ‘Aaaaaaaaaaugh!’, thus pissing off the people who thought that they had rolled you. Either way you look like a moron. NTTAWWT.
