A perfect example of patronising church arrogance

In this week's Irish Catholic newspaper Benedictine Martin Browne writes:

"The journalistic comic-book mentality cannot cope with theological or conceptual complexity and so reduces all thought in the Church (sic) to basically two positions, each with its own leader."

Elsewhere in the article he writes:

"In the kind of comic-book caricaturing that passes for journalism in many quarters these days........"

How at all do newspapers report on CERN or EU budgetary policy?

The churches are slow to let go of their patronising arrogance.

A perfect example of how to alienate the reader.
