Archbishop's blog slams Gray Lady's

New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan has condemned The New York Times -- blasting the Gray Lady and its columnist Maureen Dowd for what he says are examples of unfair, prejudicial and just downright mean anti-Catholicism.
Dolan used his blog last Thursday on the Archdiocese of New York's Web site to rail against the Times a day after the paper refused to print his critique as an op-ed piece.
He singled out Dowd -- a poison-penned, Pulitzer winner and former Catholic-school girl -- for "the most combustible," "intemperate and scurrilous" "diatribe" she wrote on Oct. 25, which "rightly never would have passed muster with the editors had it so criticized an Islamic, Jewish or African-American religious issue."
"She digs deep into the nativist handbook to use every anti-Catholic caricature possible, from the Inquisition to the Holocaust, condoms, obsession with sex, pedophile priests, and oppression of women, all the while slashing Pope Benedict XVI for his shoes, his forced conscription -- along with every other German teenage boy -- into the German army, his outreach to former Catholics, and his recent welcome to Anglicans."
Dowd's column, which zinged the Vatican for "two inquisitions" into nuns who eschew "old-fashioned habits and convents," was only the latest Times piece to spin Dolan's skullcap.
"It is not hyperbole to call prejudice against the Catholic Church a national pastime," Dolan wrote. " 'The anti-Semitism of the left' is how [poet Peter] Viereck reads it."
Dolan noted that an Oct. 14 Times piece about child sex abuse in Brooklyn's Orthodox Jewish community failed to demand what the paper had previously demanded of the Catholic Church: to release the abusers' names, roll back the state statute of limitations and release all records.
Dolan's spokesman, Joseph Zwilling, told The Post yesterday that the archbishop's indictment of the Times was "the first time he has written or said something along those lines" since taking over from Edward Cardinal Egan last spring.
Zwilling said that when Dolan's piece was submitted to the Times, the op-ed page editor replied that the paper did not run "responses to what appears in the paper" and that "this is more of a 'Letter to the Editor.' "
Dowd's assistant yesterday said, "Maureen says she wants to leave her opinions to the column."
The Times did not respond to a request for comment.

Cry me a river Timmy, then tell me how many pedophine priests you covered for, and then convince me that you were/are not one yourself.
The Catholic Church has a lot to answer for.

Filthy......
The fucking chutzpah of these mothers of all political manipulation to publicly whine about criticism while continuing their regime of brainwashing children into intellectually impaired adults via parochial schooling is breathtaking. From the pompous pope himself right down to the the rapacious parish priest, may they be damned to the very hell that they invent in their twisted conciousness for the damage they have done to the progress of civilization! |

These aren't "caricatures", they're facts. What a loon. |
The foundation of morality is to . . . give up pretending to believe that for which there is no evidence, and repeating unintelligible propositions about things beyond the possibliities of knowledge.
