Title: Bias on parade
Product review: Alexis de Tocqueville once opined that anti-Catholicism is the anti-Semitism of would-be intellectuals. There is no finer item of this genteel anti-Catholicism than the current book and its rapturous recpetion in certain intellectual quarters. Serious historians have condemned the book for its reliance on biased, secondary sources; its deliberate distortion of the few primary sources quoted; its outright fabrication of evidence. The book attacks just about every tenet of the Catholic faith and is full of endless whimpering about the alleged abuses of Carroll's Catholic father.Some of the reviewers simply bask in the same mindless bigotry. What is one to make of the reviewer who uses the review to blame the Catholic Church for the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center!One thing is clear: this absurd book has certainly found the adueince it deserves.
