27. The old joke is that the "Catholic" League is Bill Donohue and a fax machine.

That joke is still relevant because how many people these days have even seen a fax machine?! Bill Donohue increasingly seems like a political dinosaur, an Archie Bunker type who refuses to see the world moved on decades ago. Donohue is still heard occasionally in reactionary Catholic media like EWTN and Relevant Radio, but no one pays attention to those networks or has even heard of them. This is probably Donohue's attempt at clickbait.
