Pope Bashing: Lies of the Belfast Telegraph

Suppose for a moment that I were to write something of a condemnation of the cultural nuances that foster horrible crimes wrought against the youth of the world. Now suppose in doing so, I name a sort of complacency, a perceived normality to the abhorrent deeds. I'm in effect, calling evil by name.

Fast forward a bit. An Irish newspaper writes a lengthy article about how my comments "outraged" victims of sex abuse. Confusing? No, not at all. You see, the newspaper is actually only taking snippets from my full speech and trying to represent the complacency as belonging to me, and the organization I head.

Welcome to reality, because this is exactly the sort of tactic that the Belfast Telegraph has perpetuated against the Catholic Church and Pope Benedict XVI.

Here's the lying article.

Notice the oddly worded title of the article. It starts with the blatant attempt at catching your eye with "Pope's child porn...". Simply amazing.

Here's what the Pope actually said.
