Flagged this article for POV issues. I removed "and even going so far as to deceive Muslim worshippers in a ridiculous and offensive interview attempt on the street in front of a London mosque.[1] [2]" and a description of his views as "simpistic" but it probably still needs some cleanup for NPOV.

Wow. Calling this NPOV and "disputed neutrality" is a bit of an understatement.Opusaug 04:27, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

I've never edited Wikipedia articles before so I am a complete newbie. And (a) it's nearly impossible to find out how to stop this sort of thing and (b) the changed I made were reverted by the orignal vandal and/or some bot. On point "a," I checked the articles on "NPOV disputes" and "biographies of living persons," and I looked for but did not find Wikipedia policies on vandalism. I didn't see anything useful about stopping this sort of vandalism except to ask for an arbitrator, which apparently takes a "long" time. I was *hoping* flagging this a an NPOV dispute might get someone's attention, but it doesn't seem to have done anything. Meanwhile the user who vandalized the article is free to continually revert it. I thought Wikipedia learned something from the Siegenthaler incident. Apparently not: good job! 66.122.216.171=mcljef

Fr. Morris, being a Legionary of Christ, has made a solemn vow to never criticise in thought, word or writing, anyone who is his superior. This not only includes his Legionary Superiors, but his ecclesiastical ones.

I think that this is important to take into consideration when asking him about the founder of the Legion of Christ who was punished last year for sexually abusing young seminarians over decades. Fr. Morris will deny this truth and say that the founder, Marcial Maciel, has been attacked by the enemies of the Legion of Christ and the Church. His Solemn Vow prohibits him from accepting that his founder is a paedophile and prevents him from talking about it or writing about it.

I believe that this compromises his Journalistic Integrity.

Many of the bizarre rules that govern his life as a Legionary of Christ, and rules which he is obliged to enforce those under him in his seminary to obey, can be found at this link: http://www.exlegionaries.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=20 193.61.177.16 12:56, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This article is unadulterated PR

Once the POV, spin, and PR are removed, I'd be surprised if this article were more than 20 words long. Eleemosynary 15:18, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
