And Why Not? No One Reads the Corrections Anyway

C.W. Nevius' column about Most Holy Redeemer banning drag queen performers incorrectly stated that entertainer Peaches Christ appeared at an event at the church's hall with a dildo shaped like a crucifix. He did not appear at the event, nor does he use the prop.
Obviously, this retraction was written by an intern. A full-fledged professional would have left some ambiguity in the material, publishing a more nuanced correction of what was printed:

“C.W. Nevius' column about Most Holy Redeemer banning drag queen performers incorrectly stated that entertainer Peaches Christ appeared at an event at the church's hall with a dildo shaped like a crucifix. He did not appear at the event, but if he did—which we've established he did not—he did not he use a dildo shaped like crucifix as a prop. He used it like a dildo—or he would have had he been there, which he almost certainly was not.”

See the difference.
