"Here we go again, the Boston Globe...is having another pop at the Church."

Not really, Tridentinus. Some of the narratives in the story were very moving, revealing that the BOSTON GLOBE isn't what it used to be, popping the Church, as it were. But the sales price says it all (regarding its value, influence, etc.). The NEW YORK TIMES bought the privately owned paper in 1993 for 1.1 BILLION and sold it 20 years later for 70 MILLION to a sports owner (owner of the Red Sox), John Henry (whose current wife is of Italian American Catholic background).  But from 1.1 billion to 70 million says it all! (Needless to say, Mr. Henry's primary interest is the Boston Red Sox.)
