Breibart got all uppity concerning Wikipedia censorship and frankly I trust neither yet here is a little reminder that they all
"burn books" yet in [their] own way
Does Breitbart News have a Pro Catholic Bias?
See Exhibit A:
AP: Catholic Church lobbied for taxpayer funds, got $1.4B
https://www.breitbart.com/news/ap-after-lobbying-catholic-church-won-1-4b-in-virus-aid/
When the real Headline should have Read:
The Catholic Church received us much as 3.5$ Billion in
Small Business Loans even though this was against policy
and only after they lobbied to be exempted from the rules
See Exhibit B:
Headline from Business Insider running the same AP article.
Not surprising Most media outlets also ran with the 1.4$ billion figure.
Lazy or something else?
Quote from BB>AP article:
"The church’s haul may have reached — or even exceeded — $3.5 billion, making a global religious institution with more than a billion followers among the biggest winners in the U.S. government’s pandemic relief efforts, an Associated Press analysis of federal data released this week found."
Exhibit C:
Read the comments section.
Oh look! One whole comment concerning an article that would have started a small civil war of words had it actually been posted with a Hyper Link like all "good" Breitbart News articles are.
One comment 15 days ago which would have been 5-6 days after the story was reran by Breitbart. This Story was never ran on BB front page which means it was Published and then buried in their archives.
Exhibit D:
Oh look! Breitbart did not use their "PROFESSIONAL ROME BUREAU CHIEF REPORTER" Thomas D. Williams PH.D. but instead preferred to simply run the AP story?! How uncharacteristic of Breitbart to not allow the learned Sir Williams to give his take on this shocking revelation!
So I dug abit further

Popular Priest Fathered Child and Says He’ll Step Aside

“The priest, the Rev. Thomas D. Williams, apologized in a statement on Tuesday “for this grave transgression” and “to everyone who is hurt by this revelation.” He said he would take a year off from public ministry to reflect on his transgressions and his “commitments as a priest” — a decision he said he made with his superiors.
Father Williams was the most visible American member of the Legionaries, a powerful and conservative Roman Catholic religious order that has been in turmoil since 2006, when its charismatic founder was banished by the Vatican to a life of prayer and penance.”

Catholic Order Jolted by Reports That Its Founder Led a
Double Life
By Laurie Goodstein Feb. 3, 2009
https://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/04/us/04legion.html?_r=1
“The Legionaries of Christ, an influential Roman Catholic religious order, have been shaken by new revelations that their founder, who died a year ago, had an affair with a woman and fathered a daughter just as he and his thriving conservative order were winning the acclaim of Pope John Paul II.
Before his death, the founder, the Rev. Marcial Maciel Degollado, had been forced to leave public ministry by Pope Benedict XVI because of accusations from more than a dozen men who said he had sexually abused them when they were students.
But most members of the Legion continued to defend Father Maciel, asserting that the accusations had not been proved. Father Maciel died in January 2008 at the age of 87, and was buried in Mexico, where he was born.”
How Bizarre. How Odd. How Telling
