Bill Donohue comments on Newsweek’s cover story by Kurt Eichenwald, \”The Bible: So Misunderstood It’s a Sin\”:

In 2005, Newsweek wondered whether anyone would \”pull the plug\” on Pope John Paul II; he was accused of \”stubbornly\” imposing his will on the faithful. In 2007, it lied about obscene anti-Catholic comments made by staffers for presidential candidate John Edwards, passing them off as mere criticism. Also that year, it ran a cover story on a disturbed woman who dressed up as a priest, fantasizing that she really was one. In 2012, Andrew Sullivan told us that \”the cross was not the point of Jesus’ life.\”

Except the talk is wrong. Or, more accurately, lacks an understanding of the role of Congress in making spending decisions and the details of budget agreements of recent years. Sequestration doesn’t have to happen in fiscal year 2016, or in any other year. All Congress has to do is come up with a responsible budget that raises an adequate level of revenue to cover desired levels of spending. Essentially, it simply needs to do its job.
