James Dobson still not a reverend/minister
A brief article in The Caucus column last Wednesday about Newt Gingrich’s conversion to Catholicism referred incorrectly to James Dobson, who had interviewed Mr. Gingrich, a former speaker of the House, on his radio program. Dr. Dobson, the founder of Focus on the Family, is an evangelical Christian leader who has a doctorate in child development; he is not a minister.

Since 2006, I’ve been tracking publications that make this mistake. Start here to read all of the Dobson corrections, of which the Times has several. GetReligion has also been paying attention to this error.
