If those two gentleman had their way, we would be returned to the days of Inquisition. I find it intriguing that Christianity speaks of free will, but then the radicals try everything in order to suppress the idea of it. You cannot control free will so you go after the people that exercise it. Everyone seems to need an enemy in order to make money.

He never says a word about the straight molesters who were and are priests, some are bishops and cardinals. Just because more boys were molested is easy to figure out....there were far more of them available to these men. If the situation had been the reverse, Donohue wouldn't even be discussing it. He's a self-appointed watchdog for the roman cult in America. The Vatican claims his views are his own and not representative of the cult, what a load of baloney. Odd how it hasn't shut him down. Another thing, he's a fierce opponent of marriage equality but...is himself a divorced man now on his second marriage but he'll probably tell you his first marriage was annulled. His Catholic League I might add is a 501c3 not for profit organization, what a joke. In 2006, his salary was over $342,000.00 and the League's revenue just over $16,000.00. Go figure.

Regardless, he's a honorless twit." That estimate was on the www.rightwingwatch.org web site, and would have been called bogus if there were any evidence that someone was lying. Other earlier estimates were just slightly smaller. Once Donohue took over, the membership grew from roughly 11,000 to what it was today. If you read the wikipedia article, it was started in 1973. So, over 20 years, it managed to grow to 11,000 members. Then after Donohue took over, and it grew to the current number (the Wikipedia article claims the 350,000 number includes both paying and nonpaying members, but if you just include the paying members, you'd have about 230,000 paid members in 1999.) The reality is that anyone the board of directors thinks has increased membership (which means revenue from dues) by over a factor of 20 in 10 years is not going to be kicked out the door. You may not like Donohue (I don't either), but when people try to pretend that he is in a one-man operation, it's just plain silly. It's also stupid - the classic mistake of underestimating the enemy. He does have a small media staff to help him and he'd also need a support staff to make sure that renewal notices are sent out and that they follow up if someone doesn't send in a check.
