Catholics, Joe Biden and Barack Obama

The Telegraph of UK reported in its blog that Catholics have deserted the Obama campaign because of Joe Biden's view on abortion. First why is a British newspaper so intent on reporting on any negativity that they assume to afflict the Obama campaign? Second, this right wing newspaper known for its views on Europeans should be ashamed of itself. While the rest of the world are concerned on the economic crisis,Gerald Warner the author of the article was more concerned on some religious group who have remained indifferent to Obama and his message. The Catholic church, whose priests abused countless people should be seeking public's atonement and not judge people on views they found abhorrent. If we are asked to NOT condemn the catholic church because of the actions of a few priests with the complicit knowledge of some bishops, I urge them to NOT abandon Obama's message because of the views of his VP who has other excellent qualities. As for Gerald Warner, he should be ashamed of himself. He is hiding under the guise of catholic church to express his bias.
