I used to really enjoy her columns, Twitter, and podcast, and I liked that there was a visible democratic socialist in mainstream media who was also Catholic. I haven’t really followed her much lately as I’ve drifted further from being a practicing Catholic myself. I saw an article about her in another community criticizing her (it’s here: (https://judedoyle.medium.com/what-we-talk-about-when-we-talk-about-elizabeth-bruenig-ba5a477ef838)) and it made me think harder about her views and how her nuclear family wholesome image can be a bit sinister when combined with her pro-life politics. What do you guys think, in particular about her as a public Catholic who (at least self-identifies) as a leftist?

    Ugh yeah, I think she’s not nearly as bad as Glen Greenwald. I’m also a big fan of her death penalty writing!
