WaPo Tells Catholics What to Believe
Captain Ed’s comments produced a chuckle this morning. He parses an article in the Washington Post. Check it out.
=====
The Post starts out by noting the final homily given by Benedict before his pontificate where he objected to moral relativism, but leaves out the exact phrase and leaves the point about an “adult faith” somewhat ambiguous. It then makes this statement.
It is not for us to comment upon matters of Catholic doctrine, or indeed upon the internal deliberations of any religious institution.
How long do you suppose it takes for them to disprove that statment? One imagines that the cursor barely had time to pause until, two paragraphs later, this appeared:
Certainly we hope that the pope’s admirable profession of “adult faith” does not mean that the church must continue to impede the distribution of condoms in Africa and in other developing countries, where greater use could inhibit the spread of AIDS and prevent thousands of premature deaths.
So the Post’s position on non-criticism of Catholic doctrine doesn’t extend to its position on contraception and pre-marital sex. It also doesn’t extend to killing embryos to harvest tissue for medical experiments, although the Post doesn’t have the guts to even admit that’s what they mean:
And we hope he’ll weigh the possible benefits of new medical technologies, and not dismiss them out of hand.
It’s a good thing that the Post claims it shouldn’t criticize Catholic beliefs. Lord knows what they would have written if they didn’t believe that.
