Silk on Morals, Bias & Media | National Catholic Reporter

Silk on Morals, Bias & Media | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Interesting way for Silk to plug his book (although you have to read to the need to see what he is doing). Religious freedom is the issue of the the year.  The questions is, how do you separate real religious freedom from the act of moral scorn (which is when you use your faith to attempt to interfere with the moral rights of others).  This is true in gay marriage, was true with Don't Ask, Don't Tell being repealed (and neither had any real societal effect on either marriage or the military).  Indeed, moral scorn seems to be the stock in trade of the Taliban, as there is nothing wrong with educating children, including and especially girls.  Of course, the right wing Catholic press will never hit that angle.
