Still Open Season On Catholics

The constantly-repeated truism of modern American media and political life that the only religious group that’s still fair game for broad attacks and ridicule is the Catholic Church got another boost recently, courtesy a Washington Post op-ed.
Columnist Harold Meyerson wrote last week:
John Paul also sought to build his church in nations of the developing world where traditional morality and bigotry, most especially on matters sexual, were in greater supply than in secular Europe and the increasingly egalitarian United States, and more in sync with the Catholic Church’s inimitable backwardness.
Inimitable backwardness?

so, you think Southern Baptists and other conservative religious groups are exempt from broad attacks? Any conservative group is open to attack by the Left Wing Church and its preachers, especially Harold Meyerson.
