Catholic News Service editor asked to resign

Tony Spence, director and editor-in-chief of Catholic News Service since 2004, unexpectedly resigned from that position Wednesday at the request of a U.S. bishops' conference official.

In recent days Spence had been attacked by conservative Catholic blogs for tweets he had posted about controversial religious freedom bills in North Carolina and Georgia. These sites accused Spence of "promoting the LGBT agenda."

"The far right blogsphere and their troops started coming after me again and it was too much for the USCCB," Spence told NCR in an interview Thursday.

"The secretary general [of the U.S. bishops' conference] asked for my resignation, because the conference had lost confidence in my ability to lead CNS," Spence told NCR.

The abruptness of Spence's departure was surprising and those who know him say Spence feels "shattered."

The issue of men using the women's restroom is one where the leftist-LGBTQ agenda is going to find resistance they will not be able to overcome. The women of the world are not going to tolerate peeking Toms coming into their restrooms, and men are not going to tolerate perverts harassing their women.
