Tablet Responds to Fr Fessio's Attack

THE FOUNDER and editor of Ignatius Press has condemned The Tablet's reporting of a press conference late last month given by Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, the Archbishop of Vienna. In a guest contribution to the Reuters news agency's FaithWorld blog, Fr Joseph Fessio SJ accused The Tablet of sensationalism.

The Tablet's Vienna correspondent, Christa Pongratz-Lippitt, reported Cardinal Schönborn as saying that Cardinal Angelo Sodano, dean of the College of Cardinals, had "deeply wronged" the victims of sexual abuse when on Easter Day he dismissed media reports of the scandal as "petty gossip".
