ANCHORAGE, November 14, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – In late September, LifeSiteNews.com reported that the editor of the Catholic Anchor, the newspaper of the Archdiocese of Anchorage, Alaska, had previously published remarks on her personal website to the effect that the late Pope John Paul II was an “unbelievable misogynist.”
On November 9th, the archdiocese of Anchorage published on its website a help-wanted ad for a new editor.
The former editor, Maia Nolan, began work on the paper September 8th. On September 27th, the assistant to the Archbishop, Mary Gore, admitted to receiving complaints from local parishioners about Nolan’s disparaging comments about the internationally esteemed late Pope.
The Catholic Anchor, a 10,400-circulation newspaper, began publication in 1999, and, according to the website of the archdiocese, “serves the archdiocese by informing, uplifting and celebrating the Catholic community.”
Mary Gore told LifeSiteNews.com that Nolan had published her comments on her weblog before coming to Alaska to take up the post of editor. Writing under the pseudonym “Myster,” Nolan wrote at the time of John Paul’s death in April 2005, “This pope, this benevolent, everyone’s-best-friend, Karol-from-Poland pope, was an unbelievable misogynist. News flash, kids: JP2 did not like women.”
LifeSite’s calls to the Archdiocese for comment were not returned by deadline.
