Priestly porn scars
Pain is done not only to the victims, but to Catholics in general

WILLFUL BLINDNESS

Re "Priestly porn scars" (Oct. 3): This column is Michael Coren at his predictable best. In his world, it seems everything Roman Catholic/Conservative is good and all else is bad and to be discarded. Coren says possession of child pornography by a politician would not be held against his or her party. He is correct. However if there was a steady stream of offenders who were in leadership positions of any one party, public opinion would quickly turn against that party. We as Christians should be and are held to a higher moral standard. When members of the clergy fail to live up to those standards, as seems to be the case over and over, that particular church and Christianity in general is open to legitimate criticism. In Canadian legal circles there is "the doctrine of willful blindness." That is what Coren and others are indulging in when they refuse to admit there is at least a part of the Roman Catholic leadership that is rotten to the core.

Global warming hooey

By MICHAEL COREN

It's truly extraordinary how every left-of-centre journalist in the country has managed to become an instant expert on the arcane subjects of global warming and the science of climate change.
