Speaking of "Fake News," forget Fox and CNN.   The fake news that really impacts the Catholic church comes from the growing cottage industry of highly paid professional Catholic Steubenville media pundits.  

When the truth gets in the way of the church's reputation, these apologists simply cannot and will not tell the truth.  Examples of this are legion.

Just this morning, a 20 minute segment on Catholic  radio about the history of the church's sex abuse scandal.   The apologist began with the howler that "the Catholic church doesn't protect priests from law enforcement."  Never mind the hundreds of revealed cases where that was precisely what the church did.

And just yesterday, on another Catholic media site, a noted blogger was strongly declaring that abortion causes cancer, and there is a secular conspiracy to keep this from the public.

And a radio priest warning that American Catholics will likely soon be murdered, as in Mexico's past.
