Paper's Attack on UK Priest and Latin Mass Like the Movie Reefer Madness

As many know the movie Reefer madness is sort of a cult classic now. There has been an absurd attack by the Catholic UK paper The Tablet on a poor priest in the UK because he offers the "Latin Mass" The Curt Jester in a must read post on this at How dare you! he takes apart the article .

What in Heaven's name are people afraid of?

Father Z has a great response to this nonsense as well as the article at Exercises in intimidation: The Tablet attacks Fr. Finigan

This has been noted also by the mainstream press in the UK. The reporter on religion at the Telegraph has the story and background at:

The Tablet writes about Fr Tim Finigan - and, yes, it is a hatchet job
