Foxs Favorite Catholic Priest Says Sexual Abuse No Reason To Deprive Duggars Of TV Show
What kind of fair and balanced news network would Fox be if it didnt have its own rightwing whackadoodle Catholic priest on speed dial to pronounce Gods own truth to the half-comatose octogenarian audience? (Thats a rhetorical question.) As Foxs official religion contributor, Father Jonathan Morris is often called upon to explain, in his priestly garb, what Jesus said about slut pills, or how Obama is raping the First Amendment or, as he did on Tucker Carlsons Sunday show, why the Duggars should not have to lose their reality TV show just because Josh molested four of his sisters and a babysitter:
Were hearing such outcry. Get the Duggars off TV! Its so bad for America! This is a bad example! How can you possibly allow them to stay on? Really?!? [
] A social outcry, that they are somehow bad people, they should not be allowed on television I dont think so.

Lucky Duggars, they get their very own Catholic priest to go on TV and defend their right to be on TV, despite their past unpleasantness. Not that wed expect a Catholic priest to understand the outcry over a family covering up sexual abuse of children yes, thats a pointed dig at the Catholic Churchs widespread cover-up of sexual abuse of children, in case you missed it but were a little surprised that Father Morris appears so emotionally invested in protecting the Duggars reality TV career. After all, he says, if the Kardashians get to be on television, why not the Duggars, HUH??? And, like the rest of the journalists on Fox and the Duggars themselves hes appalled that anyone would criticize this particular family or point out its family values hypocrisy when the Duggars never claimed they were without sin anyway:
Whats been shocking to me is all of these very secular headlines rejoicing at the downfall of the family that never said it was perfect.
Theyre only human, after all, and everyone makes mistakes. Maybe not the mistake of repeatedly molesting your kid sisters, or the mistake of telling your son, Its OK, just dont do that anymore, or telling your daughters, Listen, its not like your brother raped you, he just did some mild inappropriate touching, so lets pray and then put it behind us. Oh and smile for the camera! But who among us hasnt made those kind of fumbles? Besides, says Father Morris, the Duggars handled the whole cover-up of their sons molestation so well:
From what we understand, they reported it, they also got professional licensed counseling. They seemed to respond to it pretty well.

Wed like to take this opportunity to point out that the only media who has identified any of Josh Duggars victims by name is Fox News. But you knew that. And while the official Fox-Duggar talking point is that the police reports of Joshs abuse were somehow illegally or unethically obtained, that, like everything else you hear on Fox, is not accurate. But hey, its a lot easier to be outraged at The Media, for reporting on something, than at the sick and twisted family who tried to keep its twisted sickness a secret, only to invite cameras into their homes, and into their childrens faces, to make money by over-exposing themselves. And theyd like to keep doing that, pretty please, maybe with a TLC spin-off about Josh Duggars victims, not that we should ever mention that again.
