Welcome - 'Democracy for the Dead' (new blog)

It's one of the pleasures of blogging to stumble across another which shares similar interests -- in this case, to discover that one is not alone in pondering the Catholic Church's relationship with 'The American Experiment' in constitutional democracy, the relationship of church and state, Catholics in political life, etc. In this case, it's the collective blog "The Democracy of the Dead":

As G.K. Chesterton said in his masterpiece entitled Orthodoxy, "[tradition] is the democracy of the dead." This site is dedicated to analyzing politics, culture, and religion through the voices of those still living and those who have departed but left us their wisdom.

It is my pleasure to welcome them to the blogroll, and I look forward to corresponding with them in the future.
