Response to Nicholas Kristof from an American Catholic Priest Serving in Sudan

[cfrsudan.blogspot] Nicholas Kristof is a prestigious op-ed columnist for The New York Times who has written extensively on Sudan. He can be credited with helping to focus the attention of the United States and the world on the genocidal conflict in Darfur, for which newly reelected Sudanese president Omar al Bashir has been charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity. He has also written about the difficult and complex situation in South Sudan, often overshadowed by higher profile coverage of Darfur. Twice in the past three weeks (“A Church Mary Can Love” on April 18, and “Who Can Mock This Church” on May 2) though, Kristof has written pieces which express a seriously flawed understanding of the Catholic Church. Since the second one was posted from Juba (the capital of South Sudan) and referred to the Church here, I felt I should offer some kind of response.
