Perhaps I was wrong about Michelle Malkin. In my last post I accused her of being “Catholic-when-convenient”. However, she has replied to those of us (I’m not presuming she read my criticism – there were many others) who wrote about her lack of charity and reading comprehension. In her “No, I’m not Bill Maher” post, Malkin writes,
I was raised Catholic. I benefited immensely from my Catholic high school education. I have deep respect for many Catholic leaders and intellectual leading lights. I continue to be inspired by Catholic pro-life activists.
This reads, to me, like “I used to be Catholic . . . ” If this is the case, then my criticism of her is entirely misdirected. If true, it only makes the situation sadder (infinitely). Of course, the blog she linked to (which she accused of calling her anti-Catholic) has responded. I urge you to read the update found here.
Of course the combox inanities continue. Malkin’s commentators (many of whom I’m sure show up at HotAir as well) do not disappoint.
I also encourage you, the reader, to read The Anchoress’ response as well.

I totally agree with your post. I just watched Lou Dobbs and he is even worse of course tonight.
IN the end there are moral principles we are called too adhere too even in difficult situation. The Pope does not lay out legislation but reminds of things that must be considered. I am sad that Benedict is getting misrepresent by some conservatives because they perhaps might just have a different position.
