The article says that Father Coyne retired after 25 years. This is not surprising. Father Coyne is 73 years old. Why is the headline misleading to the point of being a deliberate falsehood?

"Lifesite" is a biased source.

Setting aside the headline, I believe the focus was on "darwininsm" more than on his age. At 73, he could have been kept in the position another 2 years at least. There must have been other 'factors' that contributed to the Vatican's decision to replace him.

Deliberate falsehood is OK in defense of doctrine. Science will get you the rack.

Because it's written by someone who believes that it is permitted to lie to the infidel.

It's just an extension of the well established anti-Evo doctrine of using out-of-context quotes, as well as fabricated "quotes," to try to score points. When the truth is inconvenient or not useful to them, they fabricate.

Just being consistent with the source of the article.
