I don't think I've mentioned this since my previous blog, btu the Chicago Sun Times has the worst religion writer.
She writes for a major newspaper in a major American metropolis, and these are the best questions she can manage when she gets to sit down with Cardinal George in Rome for an interview. I can't believe they sent her of all people to Rome to cover this.

Yeah-- lame questions.
I think what bugs me the most about this kind of stuff is that these people seem to forget not only that the Catholics in the U.S. make up only a fraction of the billion or so Catholics in the whole world, but also that to most of these other Catholics worldwide, these types of questions don't even make any sense.
