After a Holy Week of insulting Jews and sex abuse survivors and blaming the media for doing its job, the Vatican is upping the ante on its relentless self-pity. The Vatican heatedly defended Pope Benedict XVI on Tuesday, claiming accusations that he helped cover up the actions of pedophile priests are part of an anti-Catholic "hate" campaign http://www.celestialhealing.com/2010/04/more-vatican-deflection-as-abuse-cases.htmltekhen@gmail.com (LaVaughn)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119686.post-6090332176907324629Sat, 03 Apr 2010 17:34:00 +00002010-04-03T13:34:08.522-04:00Catholic ChurchReligion I have to wonder if the Times isn't editorializing with the placement of images in this article. Archbishop Robert Zollitsch has made headlines for apologizing profusely for the failings of the church in the handling of abuse cases.

In that I must doff my hat to the queen of flippantry Maureen Dowd. Yesterday's column is right on target.
