I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that this week the Democrats are very close to forcing through abortion funding legislation on a level never before seen, and the fact that the US Conference of Catholic Bishops is about the only non-partisan national organization of any size standing up against those abortion provisions?
Luckily for the mainstream media, they know that they can rely on the useful idiots of the American right to promote their carefully scheduled campaign.
Never never when these stories run around the towns or the diocease - like in Dallas - does the media add these words - “A Gay or Homosexual priest has been found to have had sex with minors.” They leave out any story about the seminary that may have encourged these men in their pursuit of their lifestyle in the church. The nver mention that a bishop had similar complaints or that they covered up their actions. But hundreds of millions of dollars in legal fees pay for being tolerant of gays and homosexuals. Maybe that is why the Boy Scouts and the military are not to fond of the idea of them as open leaders.
You might notice the MSM has their useful idiots ...oh let’s just say, like those who have posted this same story at least six times in the last 24 hours.
Not to mention the ongoing resistance to "gay marriage".
Lots there for the MSM to hate.
I wonder how the total number of improper acts by priests stack up against, say, schoolteachers?
You'll never see the comparison in the MSM.
