Susan Jacoby's Ignorance

| Edit Post
... on Catholicism. Susan Jacoby is a liberal writer who opines once and a while as a 'On Faith' panelist for a Washington Post/Newsweek blog. From the liberal ranks of the media, which is pretty much 99% of the media, she pontificates to Catholics what anti-Catholicism is not while having egg on her face. Let's dissect. In her blog entry titled, "Anti-Catholicism: A Phony Issue", she pretty much blasts any Catholic who stands up for their faith, saying we 'impose' our values each time we speak up. By imposing does Miss Jacoby imply we have government faith squads wandering the streets of America, keeping vigil on any anti-Catholicism that might arise? Nope, just for practicing our right to free speech does she object to our use of this constitutional right. She confuses liberal Catholics as if they were similar to liberal Protestants. Unlike Protestants, Catholicism is not divided into different denominations. So if an Anglican lesbian can marry and become a priestess is NOT the same thing as in Catholicism, because it doesn't allow for it. She insists on making the comparison that rape victims being treated in Catholic hospitals be treated as non-Catholics, which is absurd, but that is what she implies. If a hospital is run by a Catholic order, it is only proper that they follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. What gets me is why does an allegedly mainstream organization such as the Washington Post/Newsweek hire a free-thinker, which only represents 1% of the population at best, to post under a 'faith' column?
