From 1983 to 2012, Catherine Utley was a broadcast journalist with the BBC World Service. On Tuesday, she published a piece at The Article describing the bias against and ignorance of Catholicism she witnessed there, which she says fed into the network's inability to appreciate Monday's tragedy as more than the "destruction of a particularly well visited tourist attraction …"

"As a Catholic, I was amazed, at Bush House, at how newsroom colleagues, brought up and educated in the UK, with a knowledge of the global geopolitical scene which far surpassed my own, could be so ignorant about Christianity," Utley wrote. "I remember one Good Friday on the news desk discovering that only one of half a dozen bright, well-educated BBC journalists I was working with that day, knew what event it commemorated." She noted that during his coverage of the [Notre Dame] fire, the BBC's Hugh Schonfield confused this week's Holy Week for Easter Week, which follows it.

Worse, she argued, was the fact that many in the BBC "do not wish to know better," because the Church stands in opposition to "the 'enlightened' liberal view on matters such as abortion and euthanasia." Therefore, "sex abuse has become the only Catholic issue considered worth reporting."
