Former Employee Reveals Bias, Discrimination and "Crushing Ignorance" of Christianity at BBCReporter Catherine Utley says many in the BBC "do not wish to know better," because the Church stands in opposition to "the 'enlightened' liberal view on matters such as abortion and euthanasia."

Therefore, "sex abuse has become the only Catholic issue considered worth reporting." Click here to continue reading this report in its entirety.
