Letters to the editor: Spreading falsehoodsKudos to Mr. Dunn and to all of those who have sent letters to the Post regarding its apparent support of hostility toward Archbishop Burke and the Church.
Oakville-Mehlville Journal
To the editor:
Are you not a responsible newspaper at all?
I refer to your Town Talk section of the March 16 Journal. Under the heading "Religious discord" you print what is clearly a slander against a good man. Even if an (anonymous) individual says "Archbishop Burke has managed to alienate most of the few remaining Catholics in town…..," you are at fault here for printing an obvious falsehood.
Archbishop Burke is doing exactly what he is supposed to do as the archbishop of St. Louis, and he does not kiss up (I suspect as you would have him do) to politicians or others in town who want to run things and want him to act as if he were not the Archbishop.
You should be ashamed for supporting such obvious calumny by printing the dirty little piece without comment. You know very well that "most" of the Catholics in St. Louis do support Archbishop Burke. Therefore, you are not right in any respect to lend moral support to this slanderer.
William Dunn
