March 30, 2010
NBC apologized today for an article on MSNBC’s website entitled, “Pope Describes Touching Boys: I Went Too Far.” The article that readers accessed after clicking on it actually had nothing to do with the pope.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue accepted the apology today:
NBC says the attributed quote was erroneous and they have corrected the error. An apology was also extended. The apology is accepted. We hope that whoever was responsible for this outrageous post is questioned about it and that appropriate measures are taken. We look forward to hearing the outcome.

I am so tired of all the cracks and jokes regarding a Catholic Priest being child molester. A wise and loving Catholic Priest once said, "There are no Priest that are child molesters, there are Child Molesters posing as Priests." This I 100% do believe. I have never known a true loving and devoted Priest ever to want to hurt a child or anyone for that fact. In any profession you will get those who use their position to hide behind their public trust and take advantage of the weak. We will always have evil, that evil does not represent our Church.
The awful thing is the injury that the cracks and jokes do to the holy men who really are priests. I remember Monsigneur Hargendeguy nearly in tears in front of St. Anthony's as he described how he was treated as a potential child molester by strangers.
If MSNBC was not caught, they would of not said they were sorry. I have a hard time believing that they said that as a "mistake". We know that many people do not support our current Pope and are trying to drag him down. Personally, I think the Vatican should sue MSNBC just to send a message to the rest of the liberal news media.
