Bill Donohue doesn’t speak for Catholics. Bill Donohue speaks for Bill Donohue.
But his screeds are frequently posted here at FR, and usually garner approving comments.
Maybe he hopes to have the same level of “special treatment” for his origination as in any one that disagrees with him/it is put down by the heavy hand of the law
“- Hey, Torquemada, whaddaya say?
I just got back from the auto-da-fé
Auto-da-fé, what’s an auto-da-fé?
It’s what you oughtn’t to do but you do anyway”
Yes he does. Bill needs to retire.
“Bill Donohue doesn’t speak for Catholics. Bill Donohue speaks for Bill Donohue.”
He does not speak for this Catholic.
I used to have respect for Mr. Donohue, but he has become a parody of himself.
Bill Donohue did not condone the killing of the satirists at Charlie Hebdo. He blamed the terrorists who did the slaughter.
OTOH (I heard him on Neil Cavuto’s show on Wednesday), he did manage to muddle the story by bringing in the anti-religious antics of the leftist media which does provoke a lot of people. Bill was referring to “bad behavior” such as when leftists scandalously deface religious objects, i.e. when they show pictures of the ‘piss Christ’ picture and the Madonna with elephant dung on her - which Christians hold dear to their hearts. Leftists applaud such behavior and Donohue says this type of behavior is an abuse of the First Amendment.
Donohue said that the newspaper victims on Wednesday were NOT to blame for their own deaths, but that they may have goaded terrorists into this act.
I agree with Bill, but the two subjects are only tangentally related to each other.
