In a sharply worded attack on the phenomenon of “spin-doctoring”, Pope John Paul II said the media wrongly promoted the idea that “the only absolute truth is that there are no absolute truths, or that if there are, they are inaccessible to human reason ... what matters is not the truth but the story”.

St Isodore has this to say to Freepers: “In reading we aim at knowing, but we must put into practice what we have learnt rather than just acquiring knowledge”.
