Earlier we told you about the New York Times leaving some information out of their report on an accident at a Pride parade in Florida:
Fort Lauderdale mayor might appreciate the NY Times leaving something out of this report on Wilton Manors Pride parade accident https://t.co/AaeMjc2kCo

Speaking of leaving things out, the Times’ continued that trend with this spin on the Pope, Biden and the Catholic church:
Pope Francis and President Biden, both liberals, are the two most high-profile Roman Catholics in the world. But in the US, a conservative movement determines how the church asserts its power. https://t.co/BHMtLsem9J

The Times seems to want to leave the impression that the Pope and Biden are “both liberals” even on the issue of abortion.
On the issue in question, Francis is no way a liberal https://t.co/ei7LRFwEB4

On that issue, very true:

Did they bother to get a statement from the Pope on his position regarding abortion? I think they'll find it's equally as conservative as the US Bishops.
But, you know, they have to somehow blame "conservatives" https://t.co/e6k9eY9bu9

Let’s see. Pope Francis says “children have a right to a mother and a father,” he compares abortion to “hiring a hit man to solve a problem,” and he decries “gender theory” as “ideological colonization.” If that’s “liberal” so be it. Would be nice if Biden agreed. https://t.co/TfiYd5WkfL

Perhaps the Times could look into a different angle to this story in the future instead of just trying to blame a “conservative movement.”

The mainstream media is simply incapable of grasping that Catholicism is an actual religion with theology and moral precepts rather than a political institution that can be understood by crudely applying the categories and labels of American politics https://t.co/oAjB9WkI9J

Also, the NYT writers can't be bothered to define Catholic beliefs properly, smh. pic.twitter.com/cN4CCMyK67

Come for the rookie mistakes about basic principles of Catholic belief, stay for the inexplicable framing of "people in mortal sin shouldn't receive the Eucharist" as some sort of recent "conservative Catholic" aberration https://t.co/uQQwRlqWlS
