I don’t doubt that Mr. Hays thinks that Rad­Trads and “avant-garde Catholics” are both “hope­less­ly wrong.” But so do I — if what Mr. Hays means by “avant-garde Catholics” is what I think he means. And I would guess that 90% of all Catholics would say both are wrong too. I get the feel­ing that Mr. Hays would reduce pol­i­tics to the alt-right on one hand and “left­ists” on the oth­er, with­out regard for the fact that 90% or more fall between those extremes and loathe both. If by “avant-garde Catholics” Mr. Hays means what I think he means, these are peo­ple who are no less selec­tive.
