Boy is this guy out of touch

This may be the quote of the day.

“A recent article relates how “Wiccans” ? self-described witches ? are now demanding and receiving respect in society. I assume the reporter is not a wiccan, but the article was elaborately respectful and it is inconceivable that any mainstream media organ would criticize something like Wicca, no matter how absurd some of its beliefs might be.”

Basically the editorial from The Catholic Herald is complaining at how the press and the public are being unfair in the spate of recent high-profile Catholic-related news stories. While I have some sympathy, I have to say it’s bad form to rip into another religion while making your case. I’m not sure what rock this guy lives under but Wiccans hardly get a free ride from the press. The writer is committing the same sin he accuses others of in his article.
