Father Hugh Burns, O.P., a priest who has preached around the United States, Carribean, and Latin America, has been at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish in Raleigh holding a retreat called “Get Real: Religion with two feet on the ground”. This past weekend, he told attendees "to turn off the Fox News" and also "give Obama a break".

I thought this was interesting. I think they realize also, the pushback is coming against the far right. They are trying to get people to come back to the Church.

I have several Catholic family members who are avid Fox viewers.

5. I will look around but right now, I'm the only source to you.

Do you want me to run the story at a website? Maybe I can get an interview?

6. That would be wonderful!

Were you at the event?

7. No. I got the information from someone who was.

Therefore, I haven't ran it as a story anywhere though it would be relatively easy to get others to confirm. However, it would be best to get him to speak to the situation.
