Decontextualization at Reuters
Here's a late dispatch from Reuters...
The Vatican warned Catholic women on Friday to think hard before marrying a Muslim and urged Muslims to show more respect for human rights, gender equality and democracy.
Calling women "the least protected member of the Muslim family," it spoke of the "bitter experience" western Catholics had with Muslim husbands, especially if they married outside the Islamic world and later moved to his country of origin.
The comments in a document about migrants around the world were preceded by remarks about points of agreement between Christians and Muslims but they seemed likely to fuel mistrust between the world's two largest religions.
Ok, thanks for your little analysis about fueling mistrust. But why are we blaming the Vatican, here? Is it the Vatican who's really "fueling mistrust?" Or is the Vatican simply pointing out a mistrust that pretty obviously already exists?
And why did you strip this story of all relevant context?
The story was specifically about the subject of intercultural marriage.
So is the blurb at the end about the Vatican declining to permit Muslims to pray in Cordoba Cathedral really more en pointe than a story, like, oh, I don't know--this one?
Splash, out
