Is the Pope Catholic? You Know, I Mean Catholic Enough?
Okay, when you can out-Catholic the Pope, you might want to reconsider your position.
The Pope said he feels that the Catholic Church (and by that he means all Christians) needs to apologize to gay people, the poor, “to women who have been exploited, to children forced into labor, apologize for having blessed so many weapons.”
Yeah, he’s saying we’re sinners and should stand in judgment of exactly no one.
Oh hell, no, says Bill Donohue, the president of the Catholic League.
“No,” Donohue said on CNN’s “New Day” Tuesday when asked if he would apologize. “As a matter of fact, I want an apology from gays. I’ve been assaulted by gays. I’ve never assaulted a gay person in my entire life.”
Bless his heart, he does know that assault doesn’t have to be physical, right?
Let me give you an example of assault. While being interviewed on teevee filled with righteous indignation, Donohue proudly took part in this exchange ….
“Can you show me where Jesus said we should spend time saying we should not let people be who they are and what they’re about?” Cuomo asked.
“There are mobster lifestyles,” Donohue replied, noting that he would condemn violent lifestyles.
See, when you go on teevee and compare gay people to mobsters, that’s an assault. The Pope is telling you, “Don’t do that crap.”
I hear there’s an opening in the choir at Kim Davis’ church. Maybe he’d be happier there.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
Just another oaf who has ruined the church for so many people!
1If I ever see Bill Donohue, I’m going to stay a good 50 feet away from him. He sounds like the kind of guy who casts a lot of first stones, and by the looks of him 30-40 feet is his maximum range.
2Way past time for the Pope to kick this ugly jerk out of the Church. Pope Francis is like President Obama – I can’t ever remember a time when the president or the pope has been so disrespected.
3@Bill Donohue,
Some free, if unsolicited, telling, worth what you paid for it.
Next time you get an official picture taken, try to find a photographer that doesnt hate you or wish you ill. The look on your face is in mid-strain after a week-end of illicit cheese eating. You know what I’m talking bout. Not even a hint of a smile.
And just so you know, it takes 42 muscles to frown like that, 14 to smile, …
4Donahue and the supposedly “Catholic League” is a one-man show, with Donahue as the jack-arse at the center of it!

5The Pope is reminding us of the lessons of the NEW Testament.
6Once again, the angry old whiteys are stuck in the OLD one where condemnation and smiting are the order of the day. This guy needs some humility. People who commit the sin of pride get smote.
I’m with Francis
7Another faux Christian with Persecution Syndrome.
8He could be mad about all the kiddie-diddler lawsuits that force the kiddle-diddlers to sell valuable properties to fund the payouts. He was mad as hexck about it one time and swore they were gonna fight every lawsuit, if memory serves.
9The day Bill Donohue meets his maker, Satan, can’t come soon enough. He and Scalia can then compare notes as to which one was more effective in making people’s lives miserable and which one was the “better” catholic.
10I hear there’s an opening in Kim Davis but I doubt he’d be happy there either.
(Yes, I know. That’s nasty. But true.)
11Bill Donohue should have retired, decades ago. With “friends” like him, the Kingdom Of Christ doesn’t need that many enemies.
12That one’s a nasty bugger. And I mean every meaning of that last word. Hate takes a lot of effort.
13OK. I want proof of this “assault” he received from “teh gays.” I’m betting it went something like this:
Donahue walked into a gay bar. He sidled up to some hunky young thing who turned around, looked him up and down and – – turned away. And Donny-hoo got a boo-boo on his feewings.
So now he assaults them. All of them. On tee-vee. That’ll larn ’em.
14Micr, while old Bill might be cheesy, I doubt that’s the cause of his face. Apparently his face was eaten away by rodents, and unfortunately for him he didn’t specify donors, when he had it replaced. Kind of feel a little sympathy for the guy, when Dick Cheney and Karl Rove were the only compatible donors.
Schadenfreude, when stem cell research could have led to a more natural and less invasive/painful procedure than surgery.
SnacilbupeR science = melting Nixon masks with Reagan masks and expecting a positive outcome.
15Donohue also said “I don’t care what gay people do. I don’t want to have a lifestyle thrusted in my face though.”
Thrusted in his face? I can only speculate what prompted this particular imagery in Donhue’s mind.
16LynnN – these bigoted so called “Christians” are so obsessed with things they hate being “thrusted in their faces” .. ummmm, maybe they should not be thrusting their faces into other people’s business.
17Bill,
18I don’t like your religious views shoved in my face.
You are a bombastic, hypocritical nit.
“Shoved down our throats” is their more usual expression, and also makes you wonder.
19The pope, and I mean any past, present, or future pope, will never be Catholic enough for some people.
20Excommunicate.
