Reply to Mark

In his critique of my post on the Burkean nature of CST, Mark ultimately concedes my principal point; namely, that the methodology of CST is Burkean in nature:

Catholic Social Thought, in contrast, is very non-utopian, and certainly repects the situatedness (if that's a word) of human beings in their peculiar local and historical contexts. It does also emphasize the incremental, communal development of doctrine.

Which is the only point I was trying to make. I did not intend to - and would not - claim that the content of CST is Burkean, just the methodology.
