Basilica Business

I am a little confused over your news post regarding "Basilica
business". Are you inferring that mortals should not write news articles
regarding the Church simply because it is your business? And, if they
do, are you inferring that you will somehow punish the transgressors? If
so, I would point out that the nature of "news" is just that, articles
of public interest on new events that spread knowledge and understanding
across Sapience. I am sure Lorielan will join Me in saying that the
spreading of knowledge of social import is a healthy enterprise for
mortals to engage in.

Obviously, since there has been a spate of articles regarding the
Anti-Love position currently held by the Church, this is a matter of
public curiosity and interest and certainly should be discussed openly
as it effects not just the Church but any person who has friends in the
Church or most especially any with romantic entanglements. Just because
you may find it distasteful when the dirty laundry aired is yours does
not give you the right to subvert the articles written by mortals on
what is publicly deemed newsworthy subjects.

Thus, I wish to assure mortals that, despite Pentharian's apparently
fascist attempt at censorship, I for one encourage public articles on
such newsworthy matters. And, indeed, yours views and opinions are
important and sometimes do lead to change--do not give up hope!
