Should there be some possible Freeper Activism on this? Or should this be a Catholic only thing?

Maybe people should start an email/web campaign to unsubscribe to the newspaper.

When the NY Times tried to investigate the kids of SCOTUS Chief Justice Roberts, there was quite an uproar against the NY Times...

Phone numbers for Saint Louis Post Dispatch:

1-800-365-0820 (ext. 8000) -- Main Line
1-800-365-0820 (ext. 8888) -- Subscriptions
1-800-365-0820 -- Classified Advertising
1-800-766-3278

Maybe you can email this to your Catholic friends and ask them to call the newspaper.

One can always explain that one is upset on what is viewed as an attack on the Catholic Church, ask them if they think that it will help/hurt their subscriptions/advertising...

Last Sunday was Shepherd Sunday.

It is my opinion that Catholics should voice an opinion against what this Newspaper is doing.

They can call the Toll Free or 800 numbers and voice their concerns.

This will be listened to by the newspaper, as it will cost time and money to the newspaper and interrupt services if they are flooded with calls across the country.

When the New York Times misquoted Archbishop Chaput during the 2004 election, Catholics in New York City raised quite a stink about it, and the Newspaper, along with pressure from the Archbishop, had to make compensatory measures -- such as giving Archbishop Chaput a Column in the NY Times.

I have posted phone numbers. Emails can be deleted. The most effective way to reach a newspaper is by calling them.

Discern your own action and ping other people if you agree...

(See my post with phone numbers and/or the post with contact information. Maybe letters to the editor are appropriate...)

Hi, livius. I hope everyone is calling the chancery in St. Louis to support the Archbishop.

I also hope everyone is calling these media outlets and condemning their anti-Catholic bigotry and demanding to speak to everyone possible at those outlets to voice our displeasure.

Has anyone contacted the Maronites in St. Louis to encourage them to Archbishop Burke in a big way? A Maronite picket and boycott sounds like a great idea to me.

I saw an interesting link on the Drudge Report. It showed the latest circulation figures for major newspapers. Assuming they aren't still fudging their numbers, the God-hating leftist rags were generally in decline, while the more responsible, fair-minded papers were generally increasing circulation.

Here's the link (sorry I forgot how to make a hyperlink):

I am Jewish and I think the Bishop is correct. In fact, Hillary Clinton, who is vehemently pro abortion, should be banned from addressing Catholic groups and Catholic charities.
