Missouri Bishop's Conviction Leaves Clergy Divided
This article, written by John Eligon and Laurie Goodstein for the New York Times, discusses the repercussions associated with the Bishop of Missouri, Robert Finn, not reporting a pedophile- priest to the police. This poor judgement on the Bishop's part has left any of his clergy in the Roman Catholic church questioning their faith in him as a spiritual leader, and there is controversy on whether or not he should resign as Bishop for his actions. Eligon and Goodstein establish logos right away in order for the reader to grasp the facts of the situation before making their own decision on what should be done. The remainder of the article is just more logos, but presented in a way that shifts between the two opposing sides of the argument in order to make the article fair and unbiased.
