Criticism of certain idiotic leaders in the Catholic church, especially those who have led their flock astray, is not criticism of Catholicism or faithful Catholics. Yes, I can see where some Catholics would be sensitive to any criticism directed their way, but reflexive defensiveness hurts your cause. Reminds people of the way some Blacks (or their so-called leaders) reflexively defended an obviously-guilty OJ, trying to turn criticism of him into criticism of them.
Name the idiotic leader who published this thus-undiscovered article in the newspaper. Yet, we have seen all manner of general attacks on the Catholic Church in this thread. Happens every time.
And, BTW, the attacks on this thread are not unlike someone attacking President Bush for some story they heard on Voice of America.
