Ironically, you're doing exactly what he did - he didn't like the fact that the interview was in the NCR, you don't like the fact that its in Seattle Catholic.
However, John Allen is a good and fair reporter, and Fr. Thommasi is a good and very learned writer, so I think the places of their publication are not very relevant.
I thought he made some excellent points. The article is not an easy read because it is careful and scholarly, but it's definitely worth reading.
Precisely. I did exactly what Fr. Thommasi did. But for some reason, you're giving him a pass. Maybe it's because you agree with his opinions.
