Albacete on Douthat

Here is a link to a video of Msgr. Lorenzo Albacete discussing Ross Douthat's book "Bad Religion." The tape is not of great quality, and Monsignor's voice is a soft one, but it is worth the effort to ramp up the volume. Albacete correctly notes that the problem with Douthat's work is its reduction of religion to moralism.
