The NY Times staff lives in Deepest Blue Amerika, where there are absolutely no Christians.
All the news that's fit to make up.
Pope John Paul II died this afternoon. The New York Times reports on his papacy in an article that inadvertently tells us more than the Times really wanted us to know. The Times had its criticisms of John Paul's papacy ready to go, but apparently went looking for something good to say about the Pope at the last minute:
Even as his own voice faded away, his views on the sanctity of all human life echoed unambiguously among Catholics and Christian evangelicals in the United States on issues from abortion to the end of life.
There you have it. The Times' criticisms are ready to go, a few good words for the Pope are an afterthought. UPDATE: I got a screen grab of the second page of the Times article, just before they changed it to delete the "need some quote from supporter:" |
LOL!!! The Old Senile Grey Liberal Lady strikes again!
Snort. Nice euphemism.
And this is "the paper of record"????
bump.
Rest in peace, Holy Father.

What a great catch!! I enjoyed sharing it with my family. Thank you.
"Liberal Catholics." Isn't that the mob who believes that the Ten Commandments are really only the Ten Suggestions?
Great catch.
It saddens me to know that so many think that God must follow the whims of man, as the Pope should change the church to follow the current desires of the population.
Seems to me that that is what got everyone in trouble back in the Old Testament (many times!). (OK, New Testament, too.)
One would think that the New York Times would have had something prepared, as millions will mourn the death of the Pope. I'm sure they will rectify the glaring error in the article, but a sad statement about the Times (and our society, based on the quotes.)
Mort Kondrake on Fox News last night was saying that the Catholics should look for a more "liberal" Pope this time because JP11 was too conservative because of the abortion, gay marriage, abstinence issues...
I thought Fred Barnes was gonna jump him...and even Charles Krauthammer and Chris Wallace were surprised that Kondrake would make that suggestion...
They all said that the Pope's conservativeness is what MADE him the respected Pope that he was!
The Catholic Church Sens. Flip-Flop and Chappaquiddick go to...
Does Drudge have this?

Did you make this up? I can't find it.
What's more, the death of the Pope leaves the NYT in an awkward position. Yhe Pope's death leaves George Bush as the world's leading Christian and foremost Christian leader. The new Pope may take this role, but he will need time to get established. Bush has the moral integrity and stature to, in effect, speak for the world's Christians and the NYTs doesn't like that one bit!
And, of course, the NYT is run by neocommunist scumbag dem liberal progressive crapweasels and they don't like ANYTHING Christian!
