Am I the only one who thinks Bill Donahue...

[Cassandra]

is a child abuser himself? People who rail endlessly against some sin (and in the detail he usually uses) are usually sinners. He is certainly a RW authoritarian follower and maybe a wanna-be leader as well.

[Mz Pip]

1. I wouldn't go that far

without some evidence. He rails against any criticism of the Catholic Church, not just this. I think he has some anger issues; I've never heard him in anything other than a completely pissed off mood.

[Bryn]

2. I noticed how he would defend pedophiles, but against homosexuals

[Tailormyst]

3. He is a nasty man

I would not label him a child molester as there is nothing that points to that. However, I will say I would never want to be in the same room with him for fear of losing my own temper at him.

[Deep13]

17. Just to be clear, the OP just said "child abuser," not "child sexual abuser."

And yeah, we are just speculating here and I would not call anyone a child abuser without evidence. Still, he really seems angry every time I have ever seen him on TV.

[Tailormyst]

19. Yes he does

Can't stand him- bleh

[Sebastian Doyle]

4. Bill Donahue is a dedicated servant of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

And I refuse to bash a good man like that.

[Cassandra]

5. You're kidding, yes?

[Oregone]

7. So is pope Ratz and his buddies

Ive known of a lot more dedicated cult servants that ended up as pedophiles than any other subgrouping of people.

11. The sarcasm tag is your friend...

13. And Homophobe Extraordinaire.

16. Two points.

1. A person can be a dedicated servant of JC and still beat his children. There is actually a strong correlation between religiosity and propensity to violence. That doesn't prove that he did it, but it disproves that being a "good" Catholic makes that impossible. It is time that believers conceeded that holy =/= good. A person can be a devote believer and still be evil. In fact if the religion claims that evil deeds are good, it can be the reason a person becomes evil.

2. No he isn't. He is a self-promoting, right-wing hate-monger.

[Warren DeMontague]

20. That's the funniest thing I've read here all year.

Maybe EVER. :rofl:

[Walk away]

6. I don't know about that but someone should look into it. nt

[tyne]

8. He reminds me of

Bill O'Reilly....wound up so tight that it's all he can do to keep himself from exploding.

*uck that....we'll do it LIVE!

[GoldenOldie]

9. His Pope /Priests---right or wrong!

Bill Donohue, is and always has been a loud mouth who will protect his version of Catholithism and the offending Popes and Priest of pedophilia and any evil crimes they have perpetuated. It seems that someone must have told him to speak with his soft voice, as he has toned down his screaming in the latest interviews. Although I am not Catholic, many of my closest family and friends are, I know that they and their Priests do not agree with the Pope nor with the likes of a Bill Donohue.

[jgraz]

10. Well, forcing Catholicism on a child could be considered abuse.

[Deep13]

15. Indeed. nt

[Neecy]

12. He's a complete nutter

My sister and her family are all practicing Catholics - and it infuriates her that he claims to speak for American Catholics. Nothing will set her off on a 20 minute rant faster than bringing his name up.

[Deep13]

14. Wouldn't be suprised, but I have no way of knowing.

Note, you said "child abuser," not "child sexual abuser." Child abuse has long enjoyed the protection of religion.

[Cassandra]

18. I was giving it some leeway.

He's spoken of being beaten in Catholic school but his tirades against gays, in some detail, and his defense of pedophiles makes me think this issue is close to whatever passes as a heart in him.

[Warren DeMontague]

21. I like how the "Catholic League" is just HIM.

"Where's the popular front?"



"Oh, he's over there"

[frylock]

22. has he made any statements regarding last night's ep of south park?

[blogslut]

23. Dude has some psycho-sexual issues, that's for sure

When he starts expounding on the "possible" results of giving equal rights to Gay people he riffs on some seriously messed-up scenarios. I've read a bunch of sex-erotica in my day and I can attest that Bill Donohue is a sick individual.
