I am not a Roman Catholic; I'm not even a Christian. I am a reader of the Guardian - and I felt that their total avoidance of covering the Pope's Easter Message was deplorable.
Leo took the USA's promotion of a war of terror on civilians to pieces - the Guardian perhaps expected that, and saw no news value in it. Well, shame on them, and on editor Kath Viner. The Pope's address was significant, and should have been promoted and celebrated as such. Instead, we get the usual Guardian sell-out to Hello magazine standards of trashy journalism.
I have - admittedly minimally - supported the Guardian financially for some years now: I have been published in the paper, by a previous editor; I comment regularly on those VERY few articles on which it permits comment - my faith in it was never total. And now? I don' t feel I've anything left in common with it; I don't feel it and I belong in the same company. My fault, or theirs? I think it's theirs.
