Never at a loss for ways to turn any Catholic story into an anti-Catholic story, many in the media are accusing Pope Benedict XVI of "poaching" Anglicans with his overture to traditionalists. The best is The Times of London's "Rome has parked its tanks on the Archbishop of Canterbury's lawn." Too bad the facts don't bear the accusations out in any way. It's the conservative Anglicans who have been coming to Rome's door for years, pleading for union that might accommodate their liturgical traditions. Presumably if the Pope had delayed any longer, the MSM would be complaining "What's taking so long?" More thoughts in this week's B.C. Catholic editorial.
