Father Raymond J. DeSouza offers clarifications about the reportage of the New York Times.
George Weigel and Father Jay Scott Newman challenge Sinead O'Connor and her misleading piece in yesterday's Washington Post.
George Weigel writes about the scandals and their portrayal in the global press at First Things.

The always fair John Allen has an article on this topic as well.
Let's pray for the church.
