Allison Kilkenny, a self-styled “political humorist,” ripped the Catholic Church on the Huffington Post on Thursday for threatening to pull the plug in its social services in Washington, DC if same-sex “marriage” is legalized there. Kilkenny labeled the Church the “Inexplicably Evil Organization Most Disconnected From Real People,” and bashed Pope Benedict XVI as a “decrepit former Nazi youth.”
The “humorist” (pictured at right, courtesy of Wikimedia) began her screed, titled “Catholic Church Threatens to Stop Feeding Homeless Over Gay Marriage,” by comparing the Church to Goldman Sachs, and used her “evil” label only after three sentences (perhaps showing a bit of restraint on her part): “A few days ago, I wrote about Goldman Sachs’s transition from a bank holding company into a public relations disaster machine. I argued that Goldman’s CEO, Lloyd Blankfein, has been behaving like he wants to be attacked by a ferocious mob. Now, it appears the Catholic church is determined to unseat Blankfein in the ‘Inexplicably Evil Organization Most Disconnected From Real People’ category.”
Four paragraphs later, after spinning the content of the Archdiocese of Washington’s November 10 letter to the DC city council (which warned that the proposed legislation which would legalize same-sex “marriage” wouldn’t “permit Catholic Charities and other religious service organization to freely function as religious entities serving the needs of the District” and called for the expansion of “appropriate safeguards to protect religious freedom and to preserve the ability of...service providers to continue to serve the...unmet needs of the residents of the District”), Kilkenny used the tried-and-true priest sex abuse bludgeon against the Church (language warning):
So this “Please Stop Being An Asshole, You Guys” law is really the thing that has sent the Archdiocese flying off a cliff. The child molestations, and filing sticky-fingered priests from diocese to diocese is all part of God’s grand plan, but showing the slightest bit of consideration for gay couples is just too much [emphasis hers].
Beyond being simply mean and intolerant, this is just a stupid strategy for the Catholic church to employ. It may be a symbol of religion, but the church is also a business that needs to expand its customer base, or it will become extinct like Greek polytheism or New Coke.
The Huffington Post writer spent the rest of her tirade rehashing tired left-wing talking points against the Church’s teaching, dipping from time to time into plain anti-Catholic (and anti-Christian in general) bigotry. She also made sure to include a shot at Pope Benedict XVI, raising his forced conscription into the Hitler Youth in another predictable move:
And don’t give me that “It’s in the Bible so we can’t change our beliefs!” crap. Religions stray from the Bible’s teachings all the time the second people realize they’re being unspeakably cruel to a society’s sect. The Bible was used to legitimize slavery, and yet we don’t do that anymore, so surely Catholics can make the same jump when it comes to gay marriage....
The Catholic church got so desperate to expand its ranks that it recently offered Anglicans sanctuary under the Virgin Mary’s skirt, supposedly to hide from all of the icky gays and lesbians the Anglican church has embraced (in a Christ-like fashion, some might say)....
As the Catholic church continues its march toward antiquity, I won’t be shedding any tears. In addition to preying on the fears and prejudices of the unenlightened masses, I have no tolerance for tax-exempt pyramid schemes that take money from poor people to build golden houses in Italy for a decrepit former Nazi youth, who now wears a funny hat and occasionally blathers in a dead language about hating gay people, suppressing women, and always -- always -- refusing to wear condoms.
What’s so strange is that the Catholic church itself seems determined to perish. Attitudes toward gay people are dramatically changing in this country, and yet the church remains stuck in its corner, fingers in ears, eyes shut, refusing to accept that the tide is turning.
This sort of far-left hate speech isn’t strange (while we’re on the topic of “strange”) to HuffPost. The Media Research Center released a special report in September 2007 documenting the “flame-throwing, name-calling, and hate speech against conservatives” that was all too common during the Huffington Post’s first two years. Kilkenny’s screed is just the latest example of the site’s intolerance of right-of-center perspectives.

I would love to see this women use her poison pen on Muslims with the same gleeful vitriol.
However, being a cowardly lib, there is no way in hell she would.
Was struck by these two threads listed one after the other:

NEA Website Promotes Communist Guide Books for the Violent Overthrow of the U.S. Government

Of the two . . . there’s no doubt in my mind which is the more evil in the USA.
I think the NEA wins hands down.
Not suggesting I’d give the Vatican a free pass at all, however.
Hey, Huffpo...even if you were telling the truth...it takes one to know one.
Methinks she is the type who realizes (no doubt each morning as she performs her “toilette”) that she will never find a male interested in her, and so must justify her decision to seek solace in the burly arms of an equally hairy-legged and manless “woman”.
They are headed for the dust bin of history. I'll grant you it will be an ugly death...but the outcome is certain.....the commie-in-chief in the White House is their high water mark......they are too stupid to see the hand writing on the wall......2010 will be Check...2012 will be Mate!
The Bible is a lot like the Constitution....open to interpretation.
Just change a comma here or there, adjust for temporal language displacement...
Right, English is a living language, sort of like the Constitution.....
Round & Round we go.
Another case of a humanoid that is educated WAY beyond her intelligence. FAIL.
If I was a Catholic, I believe I would be seriously considering it. But I am not, yet... so I will leave it up to those who are to decide what action is appropriate.
Just how would they know that?
I have issues with the Catholic Church but they are the only major thing that has stood up against Islam for 1400 + years and have sucessfully beaten Islam. The church backed by armies of free Christians have beaten Islam at Lepanto, Vienna, etc etc.
This pathetic woman along with many lib politicians are on the Saudis payroll.
Woe to you that call evil good, and good evil: that put darkness for light, and light for darkness: that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter. — Isaiah 5:20
Oh. I forgot to mention - Huff Po I am quite sure is backed heavily with Saudi and middle eastern (Islamic) money. During the elections - Muslim groups ran lots of banner ads about how Islam is oppressed by racists etc. This woman is a good dhimini.
Oddly enough, I’ve long thought the same thing of the Huffington Post.
Let the gays go to the ELCA or Episcopalians for their services.
Huff Po with another hit piece on the Catholic Church.
“The gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
Nope, sorry, I know most know me by my saying I cannot fix stupid - but - in this case I cannot fix stupid and ugly.
Catholic here. I just really don’t care what an obviously disturbed non catholic “woman” thinks of my church. I mean really, just don’t be catholic and you have nothing to worry about. I am not a fan of the huff po. I don’t read it, I don’t bother with it. I just wish that all those who preach tolerance would practice it like we catholics do. If you don’t like what we believe, you are free to believe whatever you want, just don’t make us fund it, offer it, change to believe it, etc. Leave us alone, and we will do the same. Oh, and as to the comment for us to be relegated to the dustbin of history.... we will see who will be around next century the huff po or the catholic church; and if the last 20 centuries are any indication, we know who that will be.......
I already possess that ability. However, I have sworn never to use my awesome powers.
There are many, many Freepers who would agree with the young lady who wrote the piece under discussion. I know -- I am forced to humiliate them constantly. Oh well, when it comes time to deliver persecution to the true Church, I suppose the Devil knows the correct address.
I thought that "progressives" believed that word to be anachronistic. Isn't "evil" a value judgment. After all, it's all relative; isn't it?
another othewise attractive woman that will become hard, ugly, and twisted both in appearance and soul with each passing hate filled year.
You can’t always judge a book by its cover, but she looks to be trying to portray the “smarter, more liberal than thou-how-can-I-make-fun-of-the-adults look”.
She just looks like the run of the mill ugly libtard to me. Too stupid to realize that she doesn’t fool anyone by making faces, we can still tell that she’s naturally ugly.
You are too kind.
“Of the two . . . there’s no doubt in my mind which is the more evil in the USA.”
If you’re talking about the NEA and the radical homosexual movement, they’re pretty much entwined; both with substanstial communist backing.

...”can’t imagine too many people want to be admitted to Rump Ranger General Hospital.”
Good thing I’d put my drink down already...
Yes, FRiend — 2010, kick the dims OUT!
Come on Allison the left is all for child molestation.
Just ask their “Safe schools” czar, Kevin Jennings.
The left personifies EVIL.
If there is evil in the Catholic church it is because the
left has infiltrated the church to first destroy then
change the church into what they want it to be.
There are many who already possess aforementioned ability.
We are growing.
Even the muslims fear our growth, for we are growing faster than they, with LOVE as our weapon.
God’s will be done!
Excellent comments wombtotomb.
“and peace be to you”
Gee, another one to do a 72 day novena for; I’m shooting for the Benedictine sisters for her later.
If DC wants to do without the assistance of the Catholic Church, and all she does for the social service needs of the people in the District, that's up to them. But what I want to know is, just how much have homosexuals done for the poor people of DC over the last 100 years or so?
I think this young lady, just like Janeane Garofalo, does this to get publicity for an otherwise not very promising career ...
We can all imagine...
Allison Kilkenny, a self-styled “political humorist,” ripped the Catholic Church ISLAM on the Huffington Post on Thursday for threatening to pull the plug in its social services in BLOW UP Washington, DC if same-sex “marriage” is SHARIA LAW IS NOT legalized there. Kilkenny labeled the Church ISLAM the “Inexplicably Evil Organization Most Disconnected From Real People,” and bashed Pope Benedict XVI MOHAMMED as a “decrepit former Nazi youth.” DEMON POSSESSED PEDOPHILE.
This woman will look much better in a burka.
Allison Kilkenny should be more worried about finding the person who beat her with the Ugly Stick.
Don’t worry, B-Chan. The Catholic-haters are going to be clinging to the Barque of Peter as the floodwaters rise and swallow up their transient institutions. When all of hell’s fury is coming against Christianity in this country, only the Catholic Church will remain standing, beaten and bloodied, but refusing to submit to the dictatorship of relativism. I foresee this happening, and it’s already happening in England. They may dislike us now, but we’re going to be the last remaining shelter for all that is good and decent in this world... Mark it.
Makes me glad the wife and I converted a score of years ago...
You know the truth of something by how much it is hated by the left.
what a c-word....
and they are always ugly and unhappy and projecting it on us
Absolutely. Gotta watch out for them evil Catholics! Not a day goes by that I don't hear about Catholics flying airplanes into buildings, beheading people while yelling "Jesus Akhbar", blowing themselves up, throwing acid into little girls' faces, shooting up military installations....
Oh wait. Never mind. Wrong religion.
The information in the Huffington Post articles is completely bogus. They serve Islamic terrorism.
Another Lib-lefty lost in vast confusion. What a crowd. Lou-Zers, all them Libs. Very very sad.
Another Angry Liberal.
You’re right, of course. As with Rome, so with the current Empire.
Exactly what I expected.
Dark clothes, no makeup, actively working at being unattractive... The typical know nothing leftard who styles herself an “intellectual” to explain her inability to get a date with anything that doesn’t require C cells.
Makes me sad for her.
