Editors Joe Guidry, Tampa Tribune, and John Hill, SP Times, must be Cafeteria Catholics

I know both John Hill and Joe Guidry are life-long Catholics.

Guidry is a local guy who graduated from Jesuit High School. Hill’s mom graduate from Tampa’s Sacred Heart Academy.

I have no doubt both attend Mass somewhere locally and regularly. And as good Catholics, they both have mastered the art of avoiding any feeling of guilt.

Trouble is, they are both “cafeteria” Catholics, or those who pick and choose which Catholic dogma to believe or discard. For example, the church is pro-life, anti-capital punishment, and opposes gay marriage.. Have Guidry or Hill ever endorsed a political candidate who has an opposite views? If so, should they spend mucho in purgatory?

Truth is, both have given April Griffin a pass and ignored her constant lying and resume embellishments. Both have overlooked her ineffective skill-sets and lack of accomplishments. Both consider her a “niche” candidate to accommodate her GED degree and liberal politics.


Hills goes as far to attack her main opponent, Terry Kemple, by saying his conservative Christian beliefs are “social issue” not suitable for the school board. Does Hill mean morality and ethics are not to be considered a skill-set for school board members.
So when Griffin has constantly lied about being a successful business owner, Hill thinks that is an OK example for the children of Hillsborough county.


And, does Hill really believe that someone like Kemple, who was admitted to the Naval Academy, has less ability to judge curriculum and instruction the our GED-challenged Griffin?

Let’s just admit, John Hill is a lazy reporter-now-editor and not to be taken too seriously. And I still think he loves titty bars.
