An unbalanced assessment

“Each time I think I will subscribe to “America,” I either hear or read something so off putting and disingenuous that I don’t.
In your March 10 podcast, Ms Dulle repeats her doubt about the truthfulness of Pope Benedict VXI’s assertion that he and his staff erred rather than lied about the pontiff’s presence at the meeting. It seems reasonable to blame his aged infirmity on a mistake and on his trust in his staff to properly assist him in this matter.
I don’t give the Holy Father a pass. He made a serious mistake and apologized for it. But context matters. Mr O’Connell repeatedly tried to impress upon Ms Dulle the good that the Pope had done about the clergy sex abuse scandals, considering the hundreds of priests he removed from the priestly office for their abuse or the very supportive letter Benedict received from Pope Francis, but it seemed that she would not relent. Difficult not to wonder if she has an underlying bias against Benedict and his “conservative” pontificate.
Amazingly, Ms Dulle relied on a discredited anti-Catholic organization (SNAP) to buttress her case, a reliance that unquestionably and therefore ironically weakens it.
I don’t fault Ms Dulle for any righteous anger she might feel about the scandal, because we should all feel that way. But we need a more balanced assessment of the case, and we didn’t get it from her.”
