I know what you’re trying to say, but I wonder if there might be a more felicitous turn of phrase for that. Tyranny of the Majority might be a good start, but I don’t think these people are the majority anyway.

Turning matters of the eternally divine into an opinion poll?

Man, I thought that was a great expression! No, I shall stick with it. On a more serious note, VOTF is a fascinating variety of folk Catholicism that ought to be studied by sociologists.

People could mistake it for a criticism of democracy in general rather than applying democracy to things that are inherently not democratic. That’s all I meant.

The sociologists have been busy writing hagiographies for the VOTF leaders for the past few years.

Or was that not what you meant 😉 ?
