An extreme example of Limbo mischaracterization

The mind boggles. Simply boggles.

Look at this Washington Post headline and its byline on the recent Limbo decision:

Mercy trumps 'theological hypothesis'

Panel rules that Catholics are free to reject church's teachings on limbo

Now, a little golden gem from the article's body:
While the church is often viewed as a top-down organization in which bishops tell ordinary Catholics what to believe, the commission's report suggests that in this case, the process worked partly in reverse.
And don't worry, Alan Cooperman also managed to bring up the "sensus fidelium."

Really - where to begin?
