Puzzling Omissions

Posted

I was curious about one aspect of the coverage of Pope Francis’ visit to the United States in the October 1 edition of Catholic New York.

When Pope Francis arrived in Washington he was greeted on landing by the President of the United States and his family. The next day he was greeted at the White House, this time with a graceful and gracious speech by President Obama. Your coverage did not include a photograph of either event or, indeed, was there any text mention of either.

These omissions puzzled me. Then I realized the probable reason: President Obama is a Democrat.
