Credo: SCOTUS is irrelevant

Not for attribution

A fine Catholic source gets a key word wrong:

From the Desk of Dan Burke

Executive Director of the National Catholic Register
Dear Register Family,

The Register staff has been hard at work the past 24 hours. From the continuation of the Congressional investigation of the IRS, to the growing anticipation of the HHS Mandate and yesterday’s partial-invalidation of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), our Faith is persistently being challenged.

Our beliefs. Faith is a virtue, one of the big three. The Register does not want to say our faith is tested because of a Supreme Court decision. Its content, yes, but not the believing. So make it beliefs. Please.

And while you are at it, “challenge” is too much used and much abused these days, as in calling the bad driver driving-challenged. Blah. Enough of this going with how news anchors talk coast to coast. Please.

LEFT AT THE ALTAR

Complete coverage, pages 10-13, 23 [4 pages]

Below this, sad pic of grim, sad-faced women, Jennifer and Renee, one holding the other for comfort and solidarity, dramatizing poignancy.

The whole covers the length of the front page, 3/4 its width.

It’s Sun-Times saying it hearts same-sex marriage.
