That's why people rightly make a big fuss about teachers in such a situation. It is always a power relationship.leutgebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15566408268292424147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918352234512214855.post-22448930787154572272013-03-09T23:38:26.268+00:002013-03-09T23:38:26.268+00:00Using John Humphrys' argument, the Jimmy-Fix i...Using John Humphrys' argument, the Jimmy-Fix it scandle should have seen the BBC closed down by now.ilovepopebenedicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11571602288307168018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918352234512214855.post-70044699669163439312013-03-09T23:30:48.167+00:002013-03-09T23:30:48.167+00:00Hey, BBC.

There are lots of Catholics working on their programmes (loads at Daybreak) and ITV News has a practicing Catholic as one of their news anchors. (Julie Etchingham.) <br /><br />If you have CNN, l think their coverage is pretty good reasonable. <br /><br />Failing that there is Sky News in the morning and Eamonn Holmes is a very nice chap.<br /><br />If you are forced to listen to the radio in the morning, l'd stick to Classic FM until this is all over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918352234512214855.post-291665138790939972013-03-05T05:34:38.230+00:002013-03-05T05:34:38.230+00:00I do not think that he speaks at all well and cert...I do not think that he speaks at all well and certainly does not get key information into what he says. His mode of delivery does not suit The Today Programme.<br /><br />My point is that the manner in which he was interviewed was wrong and that it reflects the attitude of the BBC to all Catholics.leutgebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15566408268292424147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918352234512214855.post-81592607385658017302013-03-04T22:59:48.015+00:002013-03-04T22:59:48.015+00:00Thank you for this post.

JH was angling for reform (presumably of Church teaching), but any reform only applies to governance.<br /><br />The Church has always had sinners, even at the very top. It is the spirit of Jesus Christ, which we obey.SzukmVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08426458229766186789noreply@blogger.com
