(Whispers in the Loggia needs to be more careful) Peggy Noonan's on the Media and Catholic Clergy Sexual Abuse (Update)

With all due respect to Whispers it is not just the "Right" that has been in a outrage. See Michael Sean Winters piece in America over the New York Times piece. Is John Allen part of the "right" now in his piece on needed clarifications? I hope we can promote truth and fairness as something shared by both Catholic "right" and "left".

The people that have complaints largely have no complaint over a microscope being done on this. Just that the microscope be accurate. I hope Whispers in the Loggia who is generally fair minded needs to think before he reports this fight in such terms.

Many of us just want articles to be straightforward and not misleading. I don't think that is just a "right" viewpoint.

Update- It appears me Whispers has changed the"right" to her "ilk's talking points" which I guess means the WSJ. Well it is a improvement I guess.

Dear James,

You might think of linking to the VR interview with the judge in the Murphy trial case, which Vatican Radio did earlier this week.

Here is the link, if you are interested: VR interview with Fr Brundage


Happy Easter!
