The only problem is that this never happened! Cardinal Ravisi never said it.

quote a militantly anti-Catholic article misquoting the Cardinal's introduction to Pope Benedict's third volume on Jesus of Nazareth. In his remarks the Cardinal mentioned a cycle of violence in the middle east dating back thousands of years and cited Herrod's killing of the innocent among several examples.

Did you read the article? The “baby killer” was not stated in the article as a quote - it was, indeed headline hyperbole - and is a fair complaint on it’s face

BUT

The point in the article made was this quote: “I think of the ‘massacre of the innocents’. Children are dying in Gaza, their mothers’ shouts is a perennial cry, a universal cry”

This a fair complaint as well. It is not a far extrapolation (in the historical context) to get to the headline, but it is an extrapolation.

Are you stating that the quote listed in the article attributed to the Cardinal is manufactured?

If not, saying “It never happened” is not an entirely fair or honest point, and is a denial of Clintonian proportions. You are saying “the literal headline isn’t true, so nothing in the article is true”
