The New York Times has shown yet again that the abuse of children does not really bother them unless it involves the Catholic Church. But if there were still any doubts, the Times has made it perfectly clear that the decades-old abuse of minors by Catholic priests is simply a tool with which it can bludgeon the Catholic Church because it does not conform to its left-wing liking.
It was only a week ago when a New York Times editorial fretted about the Catholic Church’s efforts to align the dissident leadership of a conference of left-wing nuns with Church doctrine, and the paper predictably used the scandals as a useful cudgel to promote “progressive” dissent.
Now Times’ opinion writers Maureen Dowd and Nicholas D. Kristof have double-upped on the Grey Lady’s predictable tactic with similar Church-bashing columns running just a week later in the same Sunday issue together on the same day.
