Fortunatus, I read The tablet every wek and it seems clear to me that you are wrong. Plainly you do not read The Tablet. That's fine. But why do you feel the need to misrepresent it? At least show some evidence for the hatred (very, very strong word) you discern. You use the present tense, so perhaps your illustrations could be drawn from issues published in the last two years?

Gerard, since by your own admission you don't read the Tablet I'm not sure that you're qualified to judge whether my comments on it are valid or not. It also appears that you didn't either read my post or even your own quote lifted out of it since the word "appear" is there for all to see, in my original it's even stressed. OsB, sorry, but I must be getting past it. On my screen there is a link direct to an article published in July last year. Unless we've changed the laws of mathematics recently, that is within the last two years. When I have the time and the inclination I may well find further similar articles. |

Fortunatus, Thank you for confirming that you judge The Tablet without reading it. I wouldn't dream of suggesting you are past it. There is probably some other, much less disturbing, reason why you are apparently unable to distinguish between mild criticism and hatred. Unreasoned prejudice would seem a fair working hypothesis. I've been known to suffer twinges of it myself. Edited by OsullivanB, Friday, 21. November 2008, 21:57.

This week's Tablet defends Church Teaching. http://www.thetablet.co.uk/article/12300
No doubt some will object to the next bit. I agree, that pro-life policies extend during lifetime after birth, not just while a person is in the womb.

Where, exactly, did I say that? I've said I don't buy the Tablet; I've also said I read it when I get my hands on it after our PP has finished with his copy. You obviously aren't paying attention. |

So let's forget the hate. I no longer care. |

I am a subscriber to and regular reader of The Tablet. I don't care for you wishing me dead soon. However generously I try to interpret those words, they still look poisonous, even if I am wrong to take them personally. Edited by OsullivanB, Friday, 6. March 2009, 01:50.

OSB Don't worry . They are the typically unCatholic remarks of a brain-dead self-elected elite which can be safely ignored. Whether or not the Tablet survives , we shall see. The ideas it represents, of intellectually free , challenging and welcoming Catholicism will survive, so have no fear. John |

John, contact Ma Pepinster today: what an absolutely brilliant masthead for La Tablet!
Such ideas must be well informed by the Tradition and the Magisterium, the doctrines and the dogma of 2,000 years of Church tradition. Intellectually free and challenging ideas are all very well but Church history teaches us that often such ideas take us down the slippy road to schism, error and heresy. Sadly, what I read in The Tablet is often anything but well informed... William |

Rose Typical feminist twaddle of the sort one would expect from the Tablet, if you ask me. QV |
