Someone's confused about Santorum

, , , , ,

An editor, whose religion I don’t know, sent this Associated Press story along with the note, “Maybe I’m too sensitive to these things, but this strikes me as kind of a vile headline if you think about it–not that some people mistake him for a Protestant, but the implication is that they wouldn’t support him if they knew he was Catholic.”

Croppies lie down (no more)

, , , , ,

An iron constitution, a phlegmatic personality and a clean conscience means that it is rather hard to wind me up over a news story.  When I start on my morning newspapers my strength is as the strength of ten, because my heart is pure.

Unanswered questions in Quran burning reports

, , ,

Have you been following the reports out of Afghanistan after it was learned that Qurans and other holy books had been burned by troops? The story keeps developing. More people have been killed, including NATO troops, and President Obama sent a letter of apology to Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

Is Chaput too Catholic for the Inky?

, , , , ,

First things first. Let me state right up front, for GetReligion readers who do not already know, that I have known Archbishop Charles Chaput ever since he was an urban pastor and college campus minister long ago in Denver. The young Franciscan I knew then is still the man who makes headlines from time to time today, especially now that he has moved from Denver to the historic Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
