NATIONAL POST ATTACKS ALBERTA CONFERENCE OF CATHOLIC BISHOPS FOR MENTIONING ‘ETHICS’ + ‘NUCLEAR ENERGY’ IN ONE SENTENCE

Comment: Remember, people, Canada will be mining uranium in Virginia and out West. Their Nuke Side slammed the Catholic Bishops about the statement against Nuke Power. We are Stewarts of the earth; therefore, we must protect the earth against the corporate raid!

The Roman Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Alberta is not exactly a coven of unkempt Greenpeace treesitters, but one would never know it by reading the lead unsigned editorial in that Death Culture newspaper yesterday, June 19, 2009 on page A12.

There the bishops are attacked at some length by the CanWest Global mothership newspaper’s anonymous editorialist for having the audacity to suggest that atomic power raises ’serious ethical questions.’

Seems this is a touchy subject these days for Death Culture pushers who have been trying mightily to convince the Canadian hoi poloi that nuclear power is somehow cleaner than all other energy sources, supposedly in order to address their concerns about ‘global warming’ or ‘climage change’.

The brave National Post editorialist is very concerned to castigate the Churchmen as (once again) mired in superstition, and therefor unqualified to say anything of substance at all on these public interest matters: ‘The idea that there are unique ethical concerns about nuclear energy is nothing more than a superstition, unworthy of an organization that possesses the Catholic faith’s commitment to intellectual rigour.’

NP’s editorialist asks the Alberta bishops whether their qualifications ‘entitle’ them to offer ’special insight into these matters’?

The National Post has disgraced itself with this pathetic pandering to anti-Catholic bigotry in order to cast aspersions on the motifs of these usually quiet bishops finally doing the job they have been trained to do.

By the way, they are still Canadian citizens with all the Charter-protected rights to free speech and expression as any other Canadian citizen, are they not?

Since when does the National Post appoint its editorialist to sit in judgement of who is supposedly ‘entitled’ to make public comments on nuclear power in Canada?

One wonders what type of infernal training the Aspers would put such a person through to get the miserable job?
