 How The New York Times Tried To Intimidate U.S. Catholic Bishops With A False Headline
It lacks any facts because it's a pressure piece, pure and simple, designed to intimidate America's bishops into doing what The New York Times thinks they should do.
June 16, 2021 By Christopher Bedford

“Vatican Warns U.S. Bishops,” the headline boldly declares: “Don’t Deny Biden Communion Over Abortion.”

It’s a striking title, and even with its sagging readership and brutalized reputation, these sort of things carry weight from The New York Times. But it doesn’t take a marginally informed Catholic to see something’s wrong here: It merely takes a decent search for details to notice that whatever weight the headline is carrying, it certainly isn’t in facts.

It lacks any facts because it’s a pressure piece, pure and simple, designed to intimidate America’s bishops into doing what The New York Times thinks they should do; that is, perpetuate the corporate media myth that they are close adherents to their Catholic faiths.

Hmm.........intimidate Catholic Bishop's eh???
Unfortunate they weren't intimidated into selecting a
Roman Catholic as Pontiff instead of a Juan Peron Fan-boy.
