Truth to power

Bishop Geoffrey Robinson joins Scotty McClellan in speaking truth to unreceptive power. It's a hard and lonely role even when you do it late, as both of them have done.

We see from church attempts to suppress Robinson's message that Bill Donohue and the Catholic League do not exist to defend the free speech of Catholics, only that of doctrinaire Catholics, preferably orthodox cardinals.

Coming attractions

"Obama has disowned every minister, pastor, or priest he has ever known. How can he claim to be a Christian?" Wait for it. Drudge or some other wingnut will find this nugget.

Why is Obama responsible for every word spoken by every person he has ever spent time with or worked with? He has worked with Republicans, too. Is he responsible for every lunatic thing they've ever said?

It's also ironic that Bill Donohue claims the Catholic League defends free speech for Catholics by criticizing a Catholic priest for his speech!
