NUNS ON THE BUS gets the Donohue treatment.
Waskow's
defense of American nuns brought out the animosity Donohue has displayed for
socially progressive nuns, such as the current Nuns
On The Bus event touring the country. An aptly titled Daily
Kos article - Catholic
League to Progressive Catholics: don't let the door hit you on the way out -
points out that Donohue thinks that disagreeable Catholics should simply
leave the church - and that includes nuns:
"Do we have more than a handful of nuns who have totally
lost their moorings?" Donohue mused. "Oh, yeah."
The
problem is that the number of nuns has shrunk considerably in the last decade
(now down to a mere 60,000 in the U.S.) and if the trend continues, there won't
be anyone left to pay homage and subservience to the likes of Bill Donohue
anyway.
With his uneducated and inappropriate statements, Donohue continually shoots
himself in the foot, but he doesn't care, because he has always relied on the
support of the Vatican: Sedevacantist* Mel Gibson mirrors Benedict more than
even Benedict is willing to admit.
And
God knows, the current pope has never been truly anti-Semitic .
Right.
* Mel Gibson's anti-Semitic rants have
been widely publicized: he stated during a
DUI that " "F**king
Jews...the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world."
He is also an avowed believer (Sedevacantist) that no pope after Pius XII is legitimate, the Latin Mass is the
only proper mass and that all the reforms of Vatican Council II are false. He
had a church erected on his estate that conforms to his precepts.
