The column page of last Saturday’s Sun was dominated by the opinions of three writers who are all physicians, which was probably a first. I suppose it shouldn’t be surprising, because most Americans now delegate their thinking on any subject to perceived experts. Even I do that, at least with household wiring.

One of those doctors was writing about controversies within the Catholic Church, but the other two addressed a minor aspect of their own religion — science. Both seemed particularly scornful of doubters and dissenters.
