		<description><![CDATA[I am grateful the pope has acknowledged atheists do good and seeks common ground with us based in our common goodness. I share his desire for a "culture of encounter". Here is hoping it is a sign of theological improvements to come. In this post, I accept his offer of dialogue and do some philosophical analysis of the ways Catholics mix up God and goodness to make it so atheists who pursue the good can be seen as pursuing God (covertly).]]></description>
