The recent news about the Baptists from Iowa or Idaho, I really don’t remember which, is puzzling. I mean they go down to rescue orphans and wind up in possession of kids who are NOT ORPHANS! They also mention that they wanted these children to come to know Jesus and be Christians. Well all the Haitians I know are Christians. Most are Roman Catholic but several are evangelical Protestants.
So that begs the question… aren’t they considered Christians? I mean if a Catholic group went to, oh I don’t know, an impovrished area of Scotland or Germany to “Bring the gospel” to the people living there what would people say? I’m sure someone/newspapers would point out the stupidity of that action. But no, a Catholic country must be brought into the light of American style faith.
Another point. In all the press about the groups going to Haiti to help out only the CBS Morning Show interviewed the Catholic Relief workers who were in Haiti before the quake and will be there helping the poor for years after the quake. If you read the papers or watch the TV everyone including the Scientologists were there. Yet only one show had a 5 minute interview with the relief group that has been there the longest and DID NOT pull out its workers when the quake hit.
Gee, no there is no anti Catholic bias in the Media.
