You just got to love rags like the L.A. Times when it comes to headlines. Father Joe Sobrino has received a notification from The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith for several aspects of his Christology. He is a a prominent proponent of liberation theology and his writings portrayed Jesus as a human actor involved in social causes, neglecting his divinity and his unique role in Redemption. So of course the L.A. Times runs with this headline.
Vatican set to punish priest who is advocate for poor
…Although the censure was expected to focus on specific theological points, Sobrino’s supporters immediately decried what they saw as the silencing of an important voice for the poor and disenfranchised.
Yes he is being punished for working with the poor. You certainly remember how Mother Teresa of Calcutta was investigated by by the CDF because of her work with the poor and disenfranchised.

What did you expect from a newspaper that is rejected even by trash cans and gutters? The L.A. Times simply doesn’t have the decency to turn itself into an honest weekly sitting in a rack at the checkout counters.
I am shocked, SHOCKED I tell you!
Thank you for posting this.
The L.A. Times is certainly a joke. In fact, their circulation numbers are declining rapidly. Praised be God!
Its because it smells like a deep fat fryer since they switched to vegatable oil based ink! (It also comes off on your hands really bad)
Look for buzzwords in the article, “despised” “reactionary” etc. Trash.
Why are journalists allowed to live?
I swore off them since an incident involving a local traffic accident.
Here’s my iffy memory of the headlines
Register: 5 dead in local accident
LA Times: Tragic accident kills 4
Can you guess why the numbers were different?

One of the victims was pregnant.

Come, let’s not generalise.. 🙂
Remember, the one and only GKC considered himself a mere “rollicking journalist”!
