ReplyDeleteJosephus Flavius,
ReplyDeleteYes, these news articles don't give enough details.
And I agree with you about the ill treatment of the Roman Catholic Church in the media.
At the end of all my news posts I do leave the source for the reader to pursue further if they wish.
I myself often see many flaws in most of these articles but do not comment most of the time as I do not have enough of that commodity-Time-available to do so.
I'm not sure if you noticed that the source is from "Catholic World News". If you follow it, you may be able to obtain a more detailed description of this same article.
