I was told to mind my own business. <br /><br />I am led to believe that the bishops do own 50% of the newspaper. However they do not have control over the weekly content. They have most certainly not approved all content. They most also do not endorse the contents as being free of doctrinal error, which I believe needs to happen when it is not a plain news story. <br /><br />I suspect that by appointing a lay editor, the bishops lost significant control of the newspaper and their challenge is in how to go about regaining that control.Mark Nelhttp://www.marknelza.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6267813899560041797.post-39343026072171361312013-07-21T09:35:06.506+02:002013-07-21T09:35:06.506+02:00Interesting point Mark.
