Gain and Loss

I was reading the Wikipedia article about ultramarathoner Pat Farmer who did a Pole-to-Pole run, departing the North Pole on April 8, 2011 and arriving at the South Pole January 19, 2012. As I'm reading I say, "Oooh, he's Catholic." This being the post-Seigenthaler incident Wikipedia, there's a reference footnote. I click it. Up pops the citation:
White, Marcel (March 2007). "The scandal of Australia's anti-life Catholic politicians"...
Bah!
