I am unenthused about external generally. Why are they there at all? Can something not be cited in the text? Innuendo? Or what? either it should be in the text as "Catholics respond by saying..." or "Supporters says that..." or "Chick replies that..." and we can cite the site. (!?) Anyway, a large number of externals are simply put-offs. No one even tries to reference them.
My thought is, either extract whatever useful information is there for the article, or let them go.
