EXCLUSIVE: Catholic magazine placed on “watch list”

BlazingCatFur reports:

Of further note is the continuing campaign of harassment against Catholic Insight by the branch of Heritage Canada responsible for funding Magazine Publications which has quietly placed Catholic Insight on a “Watch List” for “questionable content”.

Sources close to Father De Valk have confirmed that this report — dated 21/03/2007 “Report to Director, Periodical publishing Policy and Programs — Questionable Content Complaint: Catholic Insight” prepared by Sara Mayes, has resulted in Catholic Insight being required to submit a copy of each publication for screening.

The same sources also confirm the Magazine Publications complaint was initiated by a Toronto based “Homosexual Activist”. (…)

Truth be told I am uncomfortable with the fact that Catholic Insight takes Heritage Canada money, in my opinion no private publication should receive government funding. I wonder however if Heritage Canada would put Macleans on a similar content watch list given that magazines recent run ins with Canada’s Human Rights Commissions and the fact that Macleans has received over 3 Million dollars under the same program during the same period?

Is Catholic Insight’s placement on the watch list simply a case of selective targetting by our cultural Marxists, a case of bullying the smaller, weaker opponent?

Lots more. Read the whole thing and expect updates as they become available.
