Largest Paper in Canada Prints Hate Column Against Catholic Church
TORONTO, October 11, 2005

(LifeSiteNews.com) - The Toronto Star, the largest circulation paper in Canada, has printed a column which is being regarded by some Catholics as a clear case of inciting hatred towards the Catholic Church. Celebrated Star columnist Joey Slinger's column entitled "With this Vatican, all's fair in faith and war" appears in the 'news' section of today's paper on page A2. The Star, often referred to as the Red Star by critics, has a long history of bias in its reporting of stories related to traditional morality and any institutions supporting that morality.

In the column, Slinger takes issue with the Pope and Bishops of the Catholic Church who are considering refusal of communion for those Catholics who obstinately persist in grave public sin, such as pro-abortion and pro-same-sex 'marriage' politicians. "So the Pope is thinking about excommunicating our Prime Minister, is he? In the religion game, that's called hardball," writes Slinger. Story
