Washington Post Praise for McCarrick in 2014 Contains an Ironic Comment by Pope Francis
Deal W. Hudson September 4, 2018 When Pope Francis refused to comment on the letter by Archbishop Vigano enumerating his cover-up of ex-Cardinal’s sexual abuse, the public was bemused, if not angered.

Pete Buttigeig: What You See Is Not What You Get
Deal W. Hudson March 31, 2019 Mayor Pete Buttigeig of South Bend, Indiana is a full-blown relativist.
