Why Peter Phan needs the CDF Note on Evangelization

As a follow up to our post of yesterday, "New CDF document Magna Carta of Evangelization" (December 14, 2007), we note that the USCCB's doctrinal note on Peter Phan was excellent and very well put, and a good compliment to the Vatican's subsequent Doctrinal Note on Some Aspects of Evangelization.

In this connection, Christopher has an excellent resume of the Peter Phan affair in an article he posted yesterday entitled "USCCB Doctrinal Commitee Educates Peter C. Phan on the Gospel" (Against the Grain, December 14, 2007) involving the notoriously recalcitrant and obnoxious Peter C. (for 'Cantankerous'?) Phan. One marvels at the clarity of the USCCB's censure of Phan, among other things.
