Let me do something Panagiotis “Taki” Theodoracopulos can’t be expected to do, at least not graciously: namely, acknowledge his lapses, both the factual and the moral.
I’m speaking of his column in the Herald’s Christmas issue, published to the chagrin of many of the magazine’s friends. In it, Taki attempted to mount a defense of the Catholic Church against the forces allegedly arrayed against her, including Pope Francis but especially the New York Times, with its “malignant” and “subversive” sway over the “rich New Yorkers” who read it.
