Boyd told WFAA-TV he is an ordained Baptist minister who has now joined the Unitarian church.

According to a 2008 article:

Boyd was a foot-washing Baptist minister in rural East Texas. He left the fold...
"He left the fold"...but someone still wants him identified as a Baptist. That someone is most likely Boyd himself, who courts the controversy for marketing reasons, and to tarnish faithful Baptists by insisting that he's still one of them. How long has it been since Curtis Boyd was a practicing Baptist minister, and where? According to this article, it's been nearly four decades:
Dr. Curtis Boyd, who opened the first abortion clinic in North Texas 36 years ago, has expanded his practice and now provides a rare more controversial procedure known as a late-term abortion for women up to six months pregnant.

Dr. Boyd opened the Fairmount Center, Texas’ first abortion clinic, in 1973.

But, after 36 years, his practice has outgrown the small office at Fairmount Street and Cedar Springs Road near Uptown.

He merged the clinic with Aaron Women’s Health Center and then reopened them both under a new umbrella known as the Southwestern Women’s Surgery Center at Royal Lane and Greenville Avenue last week.

Unlike his other clinic, the new location is a surgery center, which means Boyd and his staff are now able to offer late-term abortions for women in their second trimester up to six months or 24-weeks pregnant.

So when does "left the fold" and "joined a Unitarian church" start counting as "former Baptist minister"? More importantly, when do Catholics stop believing Curtis Boyd's press and stop regurgitating his claims of being a Baptist minister?

“stop believing Curtis Boyd’s press and stop regurgitating his claims of being a Baptist minister? “

You said it yourself, Boyd is the one telling people he is a Baptist Minister. I would guess that for some perverted reason he is proud of it. Why blame the “press” for reporting the news. The press does not make the news no matter their religious origin. The press just reports the news.

If you don’t like Boyd telling people he is a Baptist minister and doing abortions tell him to shut up about being a minister or stop doing abortions. He is the one making Baptists look bad not the press.

I'm sorry, what does this have to do with Catholics, again?

I’m sorry, no Catholics mentioned in the article. It mentioned only Baptists and Unitarians. What Catholics are you talking about?
