...imagine beyond one’s own isolated experience, and a respect for language and communication.And I’m not alone in these crazy thoughts! The historian Benedict Anderson postulates that it was the shared sense of the world inspired by the common reading of newspapers that led to the social units that became the various American nations. And Richard Rorty, that intellectual juggernaut, makes a compelling, if slightly idealistic, case that novels, in eliciting sympathy from their readers for protagonists, play a key role in training individuals to exercise the sympathy necessary for solidarity in modern heterogeneous society...

Levada will replace Cardinal Dario Castrillon Hoyos, who had spearheaded the talks that led to the lifting of the excommunications. Castrillon has been criticized by many inside and outside Rome, including Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi, who said the Colombian Cardinal should have known about Bishop Williamson's troubling views on the Holocaust. Levada does not take sides in the dispute but concedes that the Vatican was "a human structure, with its limitations and possibilities for improvement." Levada is quick to add that his own congregation, which was run for 24 years by the future Pope, was functioning like clockwork when...
