Instead of giving a reporter lame legalistic justifications for Francis upholding the ban on gay seminarians, because he's worried that giving an inch to such reporters might remove Francis "from his pedestal." I think MSW would simply do better to give honest replies to the press.

By trying to argue that reporters should be unbiased, and then admitting he practices bias because he feels if he doesn't, his side will lose....MSW is blatantly contradicting himself.
