So maybe in a <i>relative</i> sense, there are no redeeming qualities to his writing.<br /><br />For example, look at a "pure Catholic" site like <a href="https://aleteia.org/" rel="nofollow">Aleteia</a> and compare it to Shea's activism. I have no doubt that when I spend some of my prayer time reading articles there I get uplifted. And I have no doubt that when I check to see what the Catholic left is spewing about current events there is no uplifting going on.Paulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17506171638613025839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065164884737080821.post-55338279668674195192019-01-28T16:10:22.853-05:002019-01-28T16:10:22.853-05:00OK, duly noted.

I don't react until he crosses a line, which he did in this post. His accusing of everyone defending the kids as calling them "martyrs" in the Christian/Catholic sense, coupled with his defense of the media as being virtually innocent [of all sins original and actual, he might add] is something both risible and wrongheaded.

When he's not factually wrong, he's launching forward with insults, accusations, lies, calumny, and almost any other sinful approach to discourse. I have boycotted him and only read his monstrously vulgar attacks on the Covington students and what followed because I still have a son who is Catholic who could easily get hit with what Mark and his leftist compatriots dished out on these kids. I'm returning to my happy ban, and the sun shines the brighter for it.
