I never questioned the validity of the source.
I question the motives of the poster.
Have you a media consultant on staff?
Looks like we found him, huh?
I didn't say I work on the staff. I said I'm a member of the Archdiocese of Baltimore. That is to say, I am a Catholic who lives in the Archdiocese of Baltimore.
As a lifelong member of the Archdiocese, I personally guarantee you, on my honor as a 14 year member of Free Republic, that the Catholic Review is not interested in marketing to the people who frequent this site. They are a very liberal bunch. That being said, they do post interesting articles from time to time.
It is a diocesan newspaper. Not the kind of place that is going to fish for hits from the likes of us. No way. Whatever his motives for posting only from the Catholic Review, that one seems to be one of the most implausible I can imagine.
I suggest you just let it go. It is a legitimate news source, he posts articles that are of legitimate interest to members of Free Republic, and he has not violated any forum rules I know of. In my opinion, there is no reason to question his motives.
