How to Lie with a Headline (media twists Vatican statement into scandalous story)
Catholic and Enjoying It ^ | May 13, 2008 | Mark Shea

So you are the bishops of England and you've got a moral problem. Scientists of the "Hey! We've got Funding! We *Have* To Do it!" school of post-Christian ethic in the UK are champing at the bit to commit brand new sins that cry out to heaven for vengeance by creating human-animal hybrid embryos. A bill legalizing this monstrous evil is submitted. What do you do? Well, the first thing you do is say "most of the procedures covered by the bill should not be licensed under any circumstances. They argue that this is because they violate human rights."

So: you've made clear that manufacturing these hybrid embryos ought never be created in the first place.

But, of course, the Mammon and Power Worshipping Establishment which is begging for the judgement of the Living God extends the middle finger to you and plows ahead. So what about those embryos? What should be done. Well, the Mammon Worshippers just want to make them, screw around with them, and then destroy them. But these are embryos which are human. So being a sensible person, you say "If it's a human, it should be allowed to live. Let mothers be "be allowed to give birth to human-animal hybrids created in the laboratory".

Result: The Ministry of Truth for the Culture of Death promptly issues a headline saying "Human-animal hybrid embryos should be legal says Catholic Church".

An absolute and total lie. It's rare to see Satan being quite so bald-faced in the British press. Usually he's more nuanced. That suggests he's got enought people comfortably numb that he doesn't have to go to the trouble of dressing his lies up in euphemism and tergiversation.

It is becoming impossible to believe anything about the Church that come out of the MSM. I always have to wait until sites like www.wdtprs.com report so I know what is really going on.

It’s not just articles about the church,, it’s articles about anything.
