I'm surprised the Guardian published this story.

It was one of those stories that was tailored made to appeal to so many people's own cognitive biases, be it towards Sweden, Protestants or otherwise, so I'm not surprised it was misreported and not put into its proper context.
One of my bugbears about modern journalism is that so many of them are incapable of reporting accurately when it comes to religious matters, something which can either be chalked down to unawareness or ignorance of the subject matter (if we're being generous), up to downright hostility (if we're not). And unfortunately I have to say that even BBC struggles in this department - there's been two major clangers that they dropped in relation to Catholicism that they wouldn't have made had they had more people on staff that knew a thing or two about the subject matter. |

Therefore, they are less likely to print stories that turn out to be a load of rubbish (Winterval, Ba-Baa Green Sheep etc.). |
