Imus did take shots at the Catholic Church and his producer Bernard McGerick sp?, did a spoof imitating a cardinal.Just a thought: if Imus, or any other person with a mic would’ve slammed a particular bishop or group of bishops, or any Catholic group, would there have been ANY reaction???
(Not saying what he said was okay, but just wondering what you think)
TCL would only respond if the attacker was a non-Catholic.The Catholic League would have reacted, but that’s about it. You wouldn’t see this massive news coverage.
You will not see Donohue speak out against a person who claims to be Catholic…he keeps his loyalties in the family, even if the family member is wrong. I have lost all respect for the man.FYI, Don Imus had William Donahue president and founder of the Catholic League on his program, a few times.

Not true. He criticised the Bishops actions in the sex abuse scandals.You will not see Donohue speak out against a person who claims to be Catholic…he keeps his loyalties in the family, even if the family member is wrong. I have lost all respect for the man.
He routinely speaks out against Catholics for a Free Choice, Call to Action, and many other groups and people that claim to still be Catholic.You will not see Donohue speak out against a person who claims to be Catholic…he keeps his loyalties in the family, even if the family member is wrong.

It is not a matter of things I like or don’t like. A great example is the Sean Hannity fiasco, BD refused to say a word, and he does that all the time when it is a so-called Catholic.He routinely speaks out against Catholics for a Free Choice, Call to Action, and many other groups and people that claim to still be Catholic.
Just like any organization or person he has to pick and choose his battles. Just because he might not pick the battles you might like doesn’t mean there is a hidden agenda.
What’s Sean Hannity have to do with the Catholic League and William Donahue?It is not a matter of things I like or don’t like. A great example is the Sean Hannity fiasco, BD refused to say a word, and he does that all the time when it is a so-called Catholic.
Sean Hannity essentially attacked a good Priest on his show, while also propogating his long held belief that the Church is wrong about its teachings about contraception. Sean has rountinely attacked the faith, and the Pope, and yet BD never says a word. Nothing, nadda, zip. BD is not about to say something against his good buddy.What’s Sean Hannity have to do with the Catholic League and William Donahue?

As I said before the Catholic League has to pick and choose its battles. The question is did anyone write in and complain about the incident with proof, times, etc. If so maybe they had a reason. But to say the “You will not see Donohue speak out against a person who claims to be Catholic” is not true. He goes after people like that all the time. But the Catholic League is the only group that knows why, so ask them.Sean Hannity essentially attacked a good Priest on his show, while also propogating his long held belief that the Church is wrong about its teachings about contraception.

I, and many, many others have asked them exactly that and they refuse to say why. Just because they call themselves Catholic, does not mean they are truly Catholic.As I said before the Catholic League has to pick and choose its battles.

Of course this is going off topic.
