Russ Reeves to the Rescue Both Amy Welborn and Eve Tushnet have posted a link to a Gary Wills hatchet-job on Philip Jenkins. (I say "a Gary Wills hatchet-job on Philip Jenkins", because there are more than one.) Both Amy and Eve seemed to be largely uncritical of Wills' article. Sorry, I don't have the references right now. I never bothered to tell either of them of my... shall we say... considerable doubts about Wills' reliability, because they would have asked me why, and I haven't had time to adequately research and sufficiently analyze. Mostly in consequence of his having thus snookered two fine Catholic women bloggers, I have had it in the back of my mind to write a column about Wills' misrepresentation of Jenkins' book Pedophiles and Priests. Courtesy of Mark Shea's blog today, I find that Russ Reeves of Tolle, Blogge has just done something like that. Oh, I did write a little bit about this, in my April 15 column, which I guess I could have referenced to Amy and Eve:
I quote Jenkins several times, in different places, in Wolves in Shepherd's Clothing. Lane Core Jr. CIW P Thu. 05/30/02 10:38:36 PM |
