Yesterday morning on Good Morning America, religion reporter Dan Harris reported on the Papal Mass from Nationals Park in Washington. He said,
“This is a brand new ballpark opened just two and a half weeks ago and this morning it’s been transformed into a giant outdoor church. Behind me, in the outfield, there is a 75-foot-high altar.”
Wow! A 75-foot-high altar? That’s one big Pope. Clearly, there was a 75-foot-high stage, but the altar was its usual priest-friendly height. It’s slightly silly that ABC’s religion beat reporter doesn’t know what an altar is which goes to prove my newly coined adage – “Journalists don’t do God.”
