Archbishop's Chaputs On the Media and their COverage of Religion

Pro Ecclesia has a very interesting post at GetReligion on Archbishop Chaput on GetReligion. Archbishop Chaput of theCatholic Archdiocese of Denver. He is often proclaiming the Catholic message loud and clear in the Secular press. I so wish his fellow Bishops would do the same.

Anyway I am always interested in how the media reports on the issue of faith. Sadly as I have seen in this political season they don't have a clue what many Americans even believe.

The good Archbisop says:
As we enter yet another election year, Catholics should remember that what we read in the newspapers, hear on the radio and see on television is often useful, but it’s always a selective taste of reality. Deciding about a candidate based on the latest headlines, or about an issue based on the latest reported poll, is a recipe for trouble.

Dear Archbishop let me give a great AMEN to that. Go to GetReligion on Archbishop Chaput on GetReligion for more.
