Priest Goes Viral for Calling Out WaPo's Pathetic Secular-splaining of Catholicism During Pope's Funeral

Posted By TheNewsCommenter: From Westernjournal.com: “Priest Goes Viral for Calling Out WaPo's Pathetic Secular-splaining of Catholicism During Pope's Funeral”. Below is an excerpt from the article.

Over a decade ago, after spending my life as a Roman Catholic, I left over theological issues. While I wouldn’t go back, there are moments when I look back longingly at my time with my fellow worshipers.

I won’t go full smells-and-bells nostalgia on you, because there’s only so much readers can take of that. But I will say one of the small joys of being a Catholic — as opposed to a reformed Protestant, my current religious bearing — is that of owning agnostics and atheists who know next to nil about the Catholic faith but still feel the need to pontificate about their multitudinous issues with the Vatican.

One priest took The Washington Post’s incredibly weak secular-splaining of Catholic doctrine during Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI’s funeral to task, and his reaction is making serious waves.

Now, to be fair, most of these ill-informed agnostics and atheists have never actually, you know, covered the Catholic faith as part of their job. They’re amateur Catholic-ologists.

There may well be a percentage of them gullible enough to believe “The Da Vinci Code” is based on true events.

Dear @washingtonpost — I don’t know if you have a Catholic journalist or editor on staff? But if you don’t — I would be gladly to be your volunteer editor for your paper next time you covering Catholic Mass or event so that I might be able to help you to use correct terms.
