One couldn't make it up: To defend Catholic teaching is now supposed to be protestant. That seems to be the gist of Fr. Allan J. McDonald's piece, in which he quotes Fr. Dwight Longenecker - who used to be a solid defender of the faith.

I have often remarked that Bergoglio will turn every one of his defenders into a liar before he is done. This piece more than proves my case.

We had this piece on a judge reducing the sentence of a man convicted of raping a 3-year old girl on the account of that the rapist "did not intend to harm" the child. This is one of those stories which I would very much like to believe is a result of poor media coverage, of media sensationalism, so to speak. This being California though, it is more than likely true.
