I'm inclined to agree with you, Fr. Coyne.  For months and months ( since way before the primaries), NCR has been "all politics, all the time."  The worst part is, most of the writers, bloggers and invited commentators are NOT professional political pundits, as are, I'd bet, none of our own posters).  We have been given personal opinion, occasionally legitimized by a few random facts, stats and/or "alternative facts" -- but I don't give these articles any more credence than I do to the few Tweeters I follow, which is a brief glance and occasional chuckle or frown.

If a political issue has a DIRECT CONNECTION to a Catholic or moral issue, then fine -- let's hear all about it.  This isn't the National Catholic Political Reporter...is it?
