Tackling Mis-information...

Damien Thompson's latest post points to an article in a secular humanist magazine which debunks some of the outlandish statements made in supposedly respectable newspapers about clerical sex abuse.

Bishop Michael Smith tries to puncture Hans Küng's claim to be the authentic interpreter of the Spirit of Vatican II. (I agree 100% with Bishop Smith, but note that the headline put on this piece makes it seem much more of an ad hominem attack than it really is. Beware the power of the sub-editor! A positive article about what the Pope has to say is spun as a hatchet job!)

Seraphic gives a boozy assessment of Peter Tatchell's programme on Channel 4.
