A fruitful day of dialogue
Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan's Herald of Hope column in the October 27, 2005 Catholic Herald raises what he sees as a problem.
Seems to me that division is the purpose of the election debate. But our Archbishop saw the need for something more, if not something else.

Remember the heat of the election campaign? Instead of bringing light and reason to the fractious debate, we Catholics seemed as divided as the rest of the electorate.

One thing all agreed upon -- Pope John Paul II, Cardinal Ratzinger, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, individual bishops and pastors, Catholic politicians, and Catholic faithful -- was the indispensable value of dialogue. Particularly urgent was the necessity of dialogue between Catholic political leaders and their pastors.

No better way to date oneself than to use the term "dialogue" in either noun or verb-form.
It's vaguely Hippie/Fonda with a touch of red piping.
