The late, GREAT,
William Buckley who founded National Review was also a fervent Catholic.
On
marriage and divorce: “I see the Church as echoing the word of the Lord on
marriage.”

On
contraception: “My own incomplete understanding of the natural law balks at the
central affirmation of Humanae Vitae, even as I’d of
course counsel dutiful compliance with it.”
On
fidelity in general: “Which side to observe? But the answer, for a Catholic,
has got to be: the position taken by the Pope, as spokesman for the
magisterium.”
On a special note,
Mr. Buckley was also a traditionalist and even invited the late Michael Davies
onto his Firing Line show to discuss
Catholic orthodoxy with a USCCB representative priest from New York once. Its available for purchase or rent here. I think its $5 to buy and $1 to rent, it was
good either way and shows how tense things were at the beginning of Blessed
JPII’s pontificate
