Bill Donohue again denies the Catholic abuse problem...

I guess reality just isn't Donohue's thing.

Donohue: No Institution 'Has Less Of A Problem' With Sexual Abuse Than The Catholic Church

Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Tuesday, 4/15/2014 12:05 pm The Catholic League's Bill Donohue was a guest on yesterday's edition of "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV where he was asked by guest-host Ed Berliner what Pope Francis could do to "clean up the Catholic Church" and put an end to the sexual abuse of children within the church. Donohue responded that there was not much the Pope could do ... mostly because sexual abuse of children is not a problem in the church any more. "This problem that took place," Donohue asserted, "was between approximately 1965 and 1985. That coincides with the sexual revolution and then the discovery of AIDS in '81." "What I am saying," he continued, "is that this problem has largely been checked."

Someone is paying his bills and giving the real life Archie Bunker an allowance...and it doesn't help that his office is located in the same building as the local diocese!

I wish those good Catholics much luck in getting rid of this cancerous growth, known as Bill Donohue!

until he repudiates this man. Actually, excommunication is called for, and quite deserved.
