A Catholic Viewpoint: Survival Requires Orthodoxy  Host Scott
Simon talks with Catholic Mary Eberstadt, senior fellow at the
Ethics and Public Policy Center, about what she hopes to see
from Pope Francis. She argues that in an increasingly secular
world, orthodoxy is what will keep the church vital.    Mary
Eberstadt is a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy
Center. She writes often on religion and society. She's also a
Catholic, and joins us in our studios.  Thanks very much for
being with us.  MARY EBERSTADT: Thanks for having me.  SIMON:
Before Pope Francis was selected, you wrote that you'd hoped to
see the new pope deploy doctrinal orthodoxy. What do you mean by
that?  EBERSTADT: Well, what I meant is that if you study the
history of churches, over time the churches that have tried to
lighten up the Christian moral code and put forth sort of
kindler, gentler version of Christianity as they see it, have
not done well. They haven't done well demographically and they
haven't done well financially.
