Please comment on my main criticism, then I'll see whether your evaluation of Mr. Donohue has cogency. For now I'll hold to my position that he is naive, incredibly naive, and beyond that, dangerously thin-skinned.

He's been running too long with the East Coast secular humanists who would control the American Catholic Church and can't hold his own against the likes of "Father" Richard McBrien and Peter Cardinal Jennings.

Yes, it's about gay priests (not pedophile priests), but beyond that it's about American liberals who, under cover of Vatican Council II, have hijacked the American Catholic Church for thirty years or more.

It seems that your comment is based on anything that Donohue has said, but on what he doesn't say (at least publicly). My comment was intended to explain why he cannot speak publicly on many of the matters that concern you. I have a close relative who knows Donohue personally, and you are the first person I've come across who has used the word "naive" to describe him.

P.S. This is not based on any personal knowledge I have, but I predict that Donohue will resign and the Catholic League will fold within several months. The fact that all those articles and editorial cartoons he used to complain about have been proven to be right on target will convince him that people inside the Church are far more dangerous to the Church than those on the outside.
