A respondent to Cardinal Kasper meets an untamed journalist<\/a> sends a good question from Matthew Archbold of Creative Minority Report. Archbold notes that Edward Pentin had taped the interview in which the cardinal said what he later denied saying and asks<\/a>:<\/p>\n

But here\u2019s my question. If he hadn\u2019t, Pentin\u2019s career would\u2019ve been harmed. Possibly irreparably. Would Cardinal Kasper have admitted to the interview or simply watched another man\u2019s life be possibly destroyed?<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no answer. But perhaps we have our answer in that Cdl. Kasper is now\u00a0publicly faulting Pentin\u00a0for not maintaining \u201cjournalistic methods\u201d because he didn\u2019t know he was being taped.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Scalia suggests that Cardinal Kasper had a chance<\/a> to \u201cto demonstrate his priesthood.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before him is a pastoral, teachable moment: this is an opportunity for him to demonstrate the very Christian virtue of extending a charitable response to Pentin \u2014 who identified himself, stood among a group of journalists and reported what he heard \u2014 while also making his remarks clear for the rest of the interested church.<\/p>\n

Something along these lines would work:<\/p>\n

\u201cEdward Pentin has a fine reputation as a journalist, but I am disturbed that my words \u2014 and their intent and meaning, which rested upon ideas of subsidiarity \u2014 were not best chosen, coming as they did at the end of a long day. Our brother bishops from Africa have been a source of profound inspiration for all of us and their contribution to the synod has been sorely needed and prayefully heeded. That said, the issues with which they wrangle cannot be solved at this synod, and will certainly continue to be prayerfully and faithfully pondered, as we enter into a year of contemplative reasoning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not \u00a0a chance he took.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
