When the CBS Evening News lead off with its story on the 'secret vatican document' last night, I was simply amazed. Here it was less than 24 hours following the election of a divorced father of two, living an actively homosexual life - to the position of bishop!! Yet, he was now off the radar screen and the Catholic Church was back up there as their primary news story.
Nothing about the gay bishop on any other channels this morning ... done, gone, finished. Back to bashing the catholics. It is just sickening.
I think this is because the media looks at the world much differently than we do. The elevation of an active homosexual who abandoned his wife and children for another man only alarms and saddens those who live "in the City of God" so to speak. God has no bearing on the secular world's outlook on life and the world they live in. Another reason the ECUSA debacle isn't news anymore is that it would be portrayed as homosexual bashing (if it is further fleshed out) in that "we" aren't inclusive and tolerent of the behaviour of others. Nothing is bad or wrong anymore if the behaviour makes one happy.
