Chariots of Iron

Bill Donohue is at is again, over on the Catholic legue website is this little gem. It’s Donohue railing against the appointment of Melody Barnes as the Director of the Domestic Policy Council.  My favorite quote from the blurb is the following:

“A few years ago, when pro-life Catholic and evangelical judges were being summarily denied the right to serve on the federal bench, Barnes denied that bigotry was at play. To top it off, when asked to name people who are both pro-abortion and religious, she offered as proof the notoriously anti-Catholic group, Catholics for a Free Choice. Looks like Obama has chosen a ringer.”

Co the CFFC is now “anti-catholic”, sorry folks, Jews for Jesus is anti-jew, but the CFFC is definitley not “anti-catholic” in any way, the differ from the papal dictates on abortion and birth control. Appaerntly when a Catholic organaization admits that the reality of our modern world makes certain dogmatic declarations to be the inverse of just plain common sense then they’re stuffed into the same category as the KKK (now there’s an orgnization that can truly be called “anti-catholic”!) or the Penecostal “the catholic church is an apostate church” Faith. Sorry Billy-boy I just ain’t buying it. As a matter of fact I don’t buy any Abrahamic religious argments against abortion or birth-control. I am aghast that religious fundamentalists refer to a book that has been used to both support and condemn racism, slavery and the abuse of both women and children for any setting of public policy.
