REBUTTAL: James Martin S.J. “The Media Ministry”. He does not mention Los Angeles Times that pioneered journalistic reports especially on series of ‘sex crimes by the Jesuits’!

In his America article, “The Media Ministry”, Jesuit priest James Martin (we do not call priests “Father” because of many reason, more on that later) (intentionally?) omits the Los Angeles Times regarding the “sexual abuse crisis” (he does not mention “priests and clergy” or who committed the abuse). Martin wrote, “Boston Globe ran its extensive series of articles on the sexual abuse crisis in the early 2000s…The National Catholic Reporter ran a remarkable series of articles on abuse in the 1990s….” James Martin knows his colleagues the Jesuits contemporary history very well – and he knows that it was the Los Angeles Times and NOT the Boston Globe or NCR — who were the first investigative reporters on clergy sexual abuse.
