To: Not gonna take it anymore
In the words of Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput:

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 don’t provide trustworthy information about religious faith—and sometimes they can’t 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 God’s truth.

Of course, Mr. Robertson is not Catholic, but I think this quote is still applicable.

Bottom line: you have any verification of this?

I posted it from the CBS website.

If it is wrong then I expect that Mr. Robertson say so. If he comes out with a statement denying it, I will post that as well.

Thank you, Mark!

That is a timely reminder. We believe little of what the MSM and certainly CBS news and its ilk print and say in politics and that must also extend to religion.

Unless the statement is verified by CBS and Pat Robertson, it should be given little credence.

There is no telling how badly Pat Robertson’s statements could have been twisted beyond what he actually said.
