**In this case, the Times even got both angles into the headline: "Pope Assails Secularism, Adding Note on Jihad." Here is the rather tortured lead, which must have been a bear to write. **

This sounds anti-Catholic.

Well, "assails" is wrong, and secularism is misleading. The pope is against
the radical rationalism that is dominant in the West and the relativism that treats all relgion as basically the same and to be equally ignored in any case.
Neither the pope nor the radical Muslims accept this. The "Times" obviously does not understand the thinking of either.
