      So @DavidLat wrote the "dilly in Philly." This is why ATL was once great, and why it's so sad that 80% of its stuff now is such total crap.

      @ScottGreenfield I stopped reading when it became @DavidLat's vehicle for anti-Catholicism.

      @DavidLat @ScottGreenfield I may be doing what's done w/ @RedState & assuming everything there is written by @EWErickson. If so, apologies.

      @ThomasHCrown Years ago, pre- Francis, @ElieNYC wrote a few posts critical of the Church - years ago. Check out the new @atlblog sometime!

      @DavidLat @ElieNYC "Pre-Francis" is not an excuse for what would be libel for non-public figures. Pretty sure some other dude did it, too.

      @ThomasHCrown @ElieNYC We never wrote anything libelous about the Church (& high church officials would certainly be public figures).

          @ThomasHCrown @ElieNYC Apologies, misread your tweet. Meant to say: no libel as to Church or its officials under any standard.

          @DavidLat I Googled "'Catholic Church' + 'Above the Law'." After accounting for tag results, here are the top three.

          @DavidLat I get that it's a group blog, you don't exercise editorial control, etc. I'm not holding you to what you didn't write.

          @DavidLat Where I practice, a libel suit is nearly impossible if it could even maybe involve an opinion, and the MTD would fail here.
