LA Times Attacks Orthodox Catholics

Tim Hutten over at the LA times has a history of doing this as you can see.

Get Religion looks at this latest screed this time using the Obama /Notre Dame controversy as his vehicle at LAT: Is the pope Catholic?

The issue here that should looked at is not the underlying controversy but how it is being used.

Anytime you see "right wing" mentioned numerous times and "single issue" watch out.

What strikes you is that for a man that often reports on religion he sees things through a PURELY political lens. The fact that people are having a vast moral debate and feel strongly about it seems to never enter his mind.

This is one of the leading voices of the LA TIMES.

So you might be a Seamless Garment Catholic out there in the finest tradition of Dorthy Day but thank God the LA TImes has informed you are just a right wing political boss
