Jerry Slevin
The National Catholic Reporter (NCR) and its editor, Dennis Coday, via an e-mail, has permanently blocked my access to making comments on its website as described further here
and here
NCR has so far ducked many questions, including those raised by bloggers at NCR and elsewhere, about this unwarranted and unreasonable censorship tactic. But the bloggers are pushing back, even some whom have often taken issue with some of my comments.
For example, please read these pertinent excerpts from bloggers who follow NCR:
robchristopher says:
… We routinely chastise the Vatican for deciding that they know best how to deal with certain people (read: nuns, women, etc.). How can we go along with the same treatment by NCR? …
Rita says:
I fully agree that censorship of comments that do not offend common decency is abhorrent….
DANNO says:
… Gerald Slevin has helped this victim of clergy rape and molestation on my journey to becoming a survivor and a relentless advocate for other survivors.
NCR has not responded to my request for information on the censorship of Mr. Slevin. I will not allow this to stand!!!!
NCR seems to be following step one (ignore) of the hierarchy’s playbook. Corruption needs secrecy and censorship to survive.
Ignore, deny, minimize, obfuscate, shift blame. apologize but continue the immoral behavior.
Too bad that the Church and NCR has forgotten about Jesus.
Jerry, I truly appreciate and admire your efforts and you have my complete support.
