Who're you calling a loser?

Portland's alternative weekly steps in it this week, calling Portland's Catholic Archbishop John Vlazny a loser:
Portland Archbishop John Vlazny roiled the waters last week when he proclaimed that Catholics who vote pro-choice should not take communion. Vlazny, whose diocese has lost millions of dollars in the pedophile-priest scandal, may have pleased conservatives but probably didn't win many new converts.

My question is what do they care who goes to Communion in the Catholic parishes of Oregon? It makes no difference whether the archbishop is right or wrong or whether "conservatives" or "converts" are pleased. Willie Week doesn't like the Catholic Church anyway.

Willamette Week has more of a stake in the theology of the Church of Elvis.
