Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on reaction to his analysis of the Pennsylvania grand jury report:
The outpouring of support and commendation I have received regarding my analysis of the Pennsylvania grand jury report is much appreciated, especially when it comes from priests and bishops. The response has been so positive that it is being translated into Spanish and will soon be widely distributed.
Not surprisingly, there has also been a wave of hateful and often obscene phone calls, emails, and tweets. We don’t reply to the crazies.
A few years ago I was talking to Alan Dershowitz about some issues—he has been the target of much vitriol lately as well—and he said something to the effect that “Bill, I’m older than you. I’ve lived through McCarthyism, the civil rights movement, the Vietnam war, but never have I seen more hatred in America than today.”
Matters have only gotten worse. To cite one example, there is an article by (bold)Andrew Ferguson(bold) posted online by the …More

Bill, Because someone is not as well informed as yourself doesn't make him/her crazy. The anger is justified and people need a venue to vent their anger. You used the phrase- "Ferguson's piece continues to go downhill from there."- Open your eyes Bill. the Church itself, along with secular society, continues to go downhill.

Bill, Because someone is not as well informed as yourself doesn't make him/her crazy. The anger is justified and people need a venue to vent their anger. You used the phrase- "Ferguson's piece continues to go downhill from there."- Open your eyes Bill. the Church itself, along with secular society, continues to go downhill. I am just a Catholic pew sitter, an elderly man who has seen the Church, slowly at first, tearing it'self apart with man centered modernism and ever increasing scandal. The [non] fruits of V11, I would suggest, are self evident, yet like the "Emperor without clothes" the majority of Bishops, Cardinals, and yes, even the Pope, blindly continue to 'heap more of the same' on to the laity and priests. Apart from a few church's here and there, "The Faith of our Fathers" is no more. We literally turned our backs on our "BLESSED SAVIOUR" and we wonder why all the filth and scandal is reeking CHRIST'S CHURCH with the smell of the devil. Ultimately the blame for this mess lies with those in high places . However I have little confidence that such persons, as a body of prelates will bring about the needed rooting out of the pervasive homosexual problem in the church simply because they often are, part of the problem. Take a step back Bill and smell the stench emanating from the Church. Turn your talents to helping others in cleansing the Church and not to defending the indefensible.
