Dolan gives the Times holy hell: Hits 'anti-church' op-ed

New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan has condemned The New York Times -- blasting the Gray Lady and its columnist Maureen Dowd for what he says are examples of unfair, prejudicial and just downright mean anti-Catholicism.

Dolan used his blog last Thursday on the Archdiocese of New York's Web site to rail against the Times a day after the paper refused to print his critique as an op-ed piece.

He singled out Dowd -- a poison-penned, Pulitzer winner and former Catholic-school girl -- for "the most combustible," "intemperate and scurrilous" "diatribe" she wrote on Oct. 25, which "rightly never would have passed muster with the editors had it so criticized an Islamic, Jewish or African-American religious issue."

There is a family in my Lutheran parish with a similar story. One of their kids was abused, and they were told it was better for them to suffer than for the diocese to have the scandal. In the end, the diocese went bankrupt.

I wish I could say this was just a Catholic thing, but it is not. Look at all the abuse that goes on in schools sometimes, and how many of the teachers bounce around from school to school.
