KNOW WHAT WOULD BE NICE?
If journalistic organizations like Reuters would employ some actual Christian since that would hopefully mean that I wouldn't have to see nearly as many useless, worthless, ignorant, and bigoted pieces like this one as I do now.
That Reuters article is actually fairly balanced, surprisingly. The woman, Cora Theill, who charges the group is a "cult," was involved in a very nasty divorce situation. She lost custody of all her children in a case in Oregon. Even if her charges against her husband were true (and a court ruled for her husband), this would mean there was one bad apple in the group.
I'm actually a member of the People of Praise. It is most assuredly not a cult of any kind. Nor are women expected to be 'subservient' - that would come as a surprise to plenty of women I know!
The Shadow, like most other sensible people, I view this as an unjustified anti-Catholic and anti-Christian smear job aimed at derailing the nomination.
One woman making charges in a divorce and custody case does not make the charges true. In particular, I note she says an Oregon judge gave custody of her three minor children to her ex-husband. From what I've read, most family court judges lean towards leaving the children with mommy; this would be an unusual decision.
