Neoafricain, a French conservative blogger, discusses the French media's silence about a recent pro-life march in Paris, France (commentary in French): "I thank Michel Garrote, a 'neo-conservative' blogger, for this information because it's rare, rare enough to bring it up. Two weeks ago, Sunday, January 17, some 20,000 people marched peacefully through the streets of Paris to show their love for life. Knowing Catholic discretion in France, this is rather a nice surprise. Elsewhere, such events are common, but in France or Belgium, it is generally preferred that people internalize their faith. But the 'Walk For Life' participants decided to stand up to be free. One congratulates them!"
He continues his commentary: "The worst part of this story is that no national media covered this event. It demonstrates the spirit of the great editors who habitually report on events drawing even 10 times fewer people [than did this march]. As believers, we return to the laity, as members of the Church hierarchy, to become more involved in ensuring media coverage of events like this. The silence in this case is culpable negligence. The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few."
