Whether blogs are intelligent or provide reliable news is incidental. They cannot be news sources unless they provide their sources. They are sources of hearsay.

Whether blogs are intelligent or provide reliable news is incidental. They cannot be news sources unless they provide their sources. They are sources of hearsay.
I am willing to accept that you read a Polish paper that stated what you say. However, because you cannot provide evidence of what you state as fact you shouldn’t repeat it. I do not disagree that the cardinal’s private life can be commented on merely that it is appropriate to do so without providing real sources. Without doing providing proof you are merely repeating rumors - particularly repellent ones. The catechism has something to say about that - it’s not positive.

If they quote from a politician's indiscreet conversation, with no written backup....well, that comes down to the credibility and veracity of the reporter, as all through history in all kinds of media.
Seeing that there are numerous Poles laughing their heads off at the Cardinal's lifestyle, I doubt that anything I say will have much effect on his reputation.
