Suburban Journal Management and Advertisers Need to Hear from Us!

From today's Town Talk:

Taking back the church

THE ST. LOUIS Review won't print this because they're neo-fascist. But I'll tell you what, if Catholics are going to survive in St. Louis, we've got to get together and start to fight for the rights of women. We need women ordained. We need priests. We need more power to the lay people. With the Nazi we got now in this diocese, we're not going to see change unless the people who are the church stand up and fight scream and yell to take our church back. Please print this in the Journal. Just like St. Stanislaus, you got to go to the public media to get the word out.

It's unbelievable that this was permitted to be printed in the Suburban Journal and posted on its web site. It is reprehensible that such hatred is allowed. The fact that such words come from an apparently severely troubled individual is no excuse for allowing bigotted name-calling and calls for violent actions to be taken.

The South County Journal and the Corporate office need to issue an apology and see that policies are effected that would no longer allow the Journal to be used to promote such hatred and calls for violent action against the Catholic Church and its Archbishop.

Below, I have posted the addresses, phone number, names and email addresses to those who should be contacted about this grave matter. Let's put them on notice and let them know how faithful Catholics feel about this gross injustice toward Archbishop Burke and the Church, and perhaps, we should let their advtertisers know as well.

Harvard professor Arthur Schlesinger, Sr. observed that prejudice against the Catholic Church was "the deepest bias in the history of the American people." Yale professor Peter Viereck remarked that "Catholic baiting is the anti-Semitism of the liberals." Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan described anti-Catholicism as the last socially-acceptable form of bigotry in the United States.
