I’ve just learned how prejudice I can be: a television news story began with, “A priest has been arrested…” I expected it to be about child abuse. It wasn’t. (Per a story in the Arizona Daily Star, “A 72-year-old Franciscan priest and a 54-year-old Quaker have been arrested near the Mexican border after they refused to stop praying at a construction site of one of the Department of Homeland Security’s virtual-fence towers…”)
However, noticing the story about Denis Lyons (a priest of the Diocese of Orange in California) was par for the course.
