'Alive' is tabloid journalism at its worst

The two pieces below are from the current issue of the free-sheet 'Alive'.

The first excerpt is sneering at those who believe in climate change and it is also sneering at the Vatican.

The second piece is tabloid journalism at its worst. Pope is the name of the priest.

That 'Alive' has charity status and therefore is eligible to claim tax back on subscriptions has to be a scandal.

That the Irish Dominican Province is associated with this far-right newspaper is another scandal.

The disclaimer at the bottom of the cover page is insulting.

Also, who is the editor of the free-sheet? It is important that readers know who edits 'Alive'.
