Keeping ‘the case’ against Pope Benedict simmering

Sheila Liaugminas | 03 July 2010
The New York Times has stirred its pot of selected facts about clerical child abuse and the Pope, again, in a 4000-word ramble.

Practicing Catholics unfazed by abuse scandals

Carolyn Moynihan | 07 May 2010
A new poll conducted by CBS News and The New York Times finds most Catholics not affected by the scandal.

New York faces liability for abusive teachers and others

Carolyn Moynihan | 29 April 2010

Pattern Emerges in Selective Coverage of Abuse

Bryan Bradley | 10 April 2010
An Italian journalist’s examination of the sex abuse cases that the New York Times has chosen to cover, and those it has ignored, reveals a calculated effort to target Pope Benedict XVI. So writes Sandro Magister in an article published by Our Sunday Visitor:

Church for everyone

Michael Cook | 08 April 2010

Evasive, blustering and blinkered. B16? No, the New York Times

Michael Cook | 01 April 2010
