Print media spotlight on Sinn Féin and Catholic Church

Anyone who took time out and mulled over the weekend newspapers can't have missed the coverage that Sinn Féin and the Irish Catholic Church received.

Sinn Féin supporters/followers will say that the media has an anti- Sinn Féin bias. And some church supporters/folowers will say the media has an anti-church bias.

Ronan Fanning in his piece in the Sunday Independent quoted from Gerry Adams' speech at the party's Ard Fheis in Derry:

"The Shinner I know is not the one depicted in Independent Newspapers."

Sarah Caden in her article on comments made by Bishop of Elphin Kevin Doran writes:

"Gay or disabled may be at odds with God's plan, says the Bishop of Elphin, but who made him God?"

It all adds up to an interesting weekend read.
