A Tale of Two Catholics, by George Neumayr

By George Neumayr, The Stream - The media’s skepticism about religion turns on and off depending on the figure under scrutiny. If it is a liberal, the media asks no questions.

Many have made bigoted claims about Barrett’s relationship to the ecumenical charismatic community People of Praise. Some have said that it is a cult, or that it inspired Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. Bill Maher called Barrett a “f***ing nut” because “she’s really, really Catholic, like speaking in tongues.”
