The Catholic League is once again attacking heresy in the catholic laiety by OP ED pieces!!!!
If you don't think that the Pope is a saint, you're a racist!!!!
Almost exactly a decade ago, Bill Donohue head of the Catholic League for Civil and Human rights, came out of the closet. NO he isn't gay. His organization is a sham. It's not about Civil or Human rights at all. It's the latest version of the Holy Inquisition, and it's mission is to battle heresy among the Catholic Laiety.
This was the attack on Joan Osborne, and the song "What if God Was One of Us?" While the song was purely innocuous, http://www.lyricsondemand.com/... Donohue attacked it as an assault specifically on the Catholic church and hierarchy, not to mention all those lay Catholics out there.
I mention this because there was an article in the op-ed page of today's NY Daily News (http://www.nydailynews.com/...)attacking Madonna as a bigot. If you check out the various pronouncements of Donohue over the years, you will notice that 98% of his blather is about Catholics and Lapsed Catholics in the media not following the catechism to the letter. The only non-Catholics usually attacked are Jewish groups who point out instances of anti-Semitism. He usually tells them to shut the hell up.
This doesn't mean that he's never admittled he's ever been wrong. He has. A couple of years ago, there was a film called The Magdelene Sisters, which was about Church run slave-labor camps in Ireland during the 1960s.
He backed down when the ex-slaves in Ireland came on him like a ton of bricks, IIRC.
It's always the same....
