I chose the "In the news" forum because what is happening in the Catholic Church is in the news and, directly or indirectly, affects us all, as Terry Anderson's article explains:

An excellent article, Bags

Good article my only quibble is with the phrase his virulent attacks on homosexuality have eventually been shown to be little more than a cover for his own tendencies in that direction. which sounded to me as if TA saw homosexuality as a life choice to be dallied with if and when.
Hopefully that is not what he meant.

Rest of article is spot on!

I can see how it could be read like that, ej, though that isn't how I read it. You could contact TS via the website and ask him if that's what he meant.

Surely "good catholics" must blush when presented with irrefutable evidence that at it's core, the church is corrupt. No matter! A few hundred hail marys and 'the guilty as sin' can wipe their mucky slates clean. Simples!hmm
