In the sentence "The Vatican has always been criticized for its stance against condoms" I said nothing about the year 2009. And yes the Vatican has indeed always been criticized for that stance.
I disagree with Tim Curran and you on the use of the passive voice as being "bad journalism." It is nitpicking in my opinion. Furthermore journalism is not a science.
I did not interview the pope and so I do not have a direct quote. Therefore I reported what another reporter said in the Yahoo story.
If I had wanted to say something original I would have written an editorial, and my blog was not an editorial.
You have gone to painstaking lengths to criticize my blog for its content and journalistic style. I do not shy away from criticisms of my writing. I do object, however, when the criticisms have an offensive and pompous tone, as yours have. This serves no purpose.
