“Catholics citing this MSM account to say that the Church has changed its position, when nothing of the sort has been changed.”
The Church’s position may not have changed, but the Pope’s interpretation of it is being bent bigtime.
Key words: is being bent
As in, somebody else is doing the bending.
As I have done any number of times before, please let me quote Archbishop Chaput on this matter:
We make a very serious mistake if we rely on media like the New York Times, Newsweek, CNN, or MSNBC for reliable news about religion. These news media simply dont provide trustworthy information about religious faithand sometimes they cant provide it, either because of limited resources or because of their own editorial prejudices. These are secular operations focused on making a profit. They have very little sympathy for the Catholic faith, and quite a lot of aggressive skepticism toward any religious community that claims to preach and teach Gods truth. |
No it is not. Why do vehement anti Catholics always claim to know just what the Pope is thinking?
