Dorothy Parvaz Discusses the Pros and Cons of Burning Down Churches
Posted by Dave Blount at October 31, 2007 12:06 PM
Dorothy Parvaz is a columnist and member of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer editorial board. Here she is discussing a lunatic's attempted torching of San Francisco's historic Grace Cathedral, via NewsBusters:
On the one hand, I can understand the power of the image to someone who sees the church as an oppressive institution. On the other hand…it's still arson. And given how fires can get out of hand, there's a chance that this little stunt could have damaged other property and hurt some folks.
When members of the editorial board of a major newspaper can't decide whether to endorse or condemn burning down cathedrals, it's past time to give up on the mainstream media.
Good or bad? A conundrum for mainstream journalists.
On a tip from V the K.
