The non-judgmental judge
By Phil Lawler ( bio - articles - email ) | Jun 26, 2015
Robert Mickens is not happy about the huge pro-family rally that was held in Rome last weekend. Mickens writes:
Without calling into question the good will or intentions of the individual participants, the gathering seemed like an exercise in fear-mongering through the use of misleading, erroneous, and emotionally-charged rhetoric.
But of course he wouldn’t question the motives of those fearmongers. Would he? Just as I wouldn’t question the charitable nature of a journalist who was ousted from his post as editor of the Tablet after he remarked that he was looking forward to the death of Pope Benedict XVI.
