The media have been too negative in reporting about Quebec papal contender Cardinal Marc Ouellet, said the Quebec City Archdiocese.
Jasmin Lemieux-Lefebvre, spokesman for the Archdiocese, said a recent “blacklist” compiled by a U.S.-based group, the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests, is unfair to Ouellet.
The organization nicknamed a group of 12 cardinals including Ouellet “the dirty dozen,” saying it did too little to address concerns of abuse in the Roman Catholic church.
“When I saw this coverage, I could only say to myself, ‘This is enough,’” said Lemieux-Lefebvre at a press conference this afternoon.
He said none of the 12 cardinals on the so-called blacklist deserve to be on it.
