New blog from a writer who’s penned, among other things, that very good piece on Dems and Catholics that appeared in Commonweal last fall.

Mark Stricherz is his name, and his most recent posts describe and analyze an encounter – a short interview, actually – with Bill Clinton after Eugene McCarthy’s funeral.

Stricherz is also a contributing editor of Crisis and is working on a book, according to his bio, that’s reflected in that Commonweal piece. Interesting.
