@CatholicLeague: Pete Buttigieg should call Chasten his partner, not his husband. The two of them

[riversedge]

geez--the C. Church sure needs to mind its own business!!





@CatholicLeague
Pete Buttigieg should call Chasten his partner, not his husband. The two of them may not like it, but truth is not determined by what is popular. It is determined by what makes sense according to nature and nature’s God.

1. Catholic League isn't the Church. It's the extreme right-wing organization led by Bill Donohue.

[riversedge]

4. Thanks. I has just assumed it was the Church. My mistake

[Dorian Gray]

7. Yes

it's run by a right wing lay person. They describe themselves as a Catholic Civil Rights Organization. They historically have fought against anti-catholic takes in the media and in society, though they align with the very right wing part of the church... and have boxed themselves into that corner now.

It's not run by anybody in the church hierarchy. It is a separate organization from any diocesan leadership. They're their own beast, and Donohue is definitely a righty leader who courts press.

[Scrivener7]

12. Actually it IS Bill Donohue. Pretty much the one creepy guy and all the chumps

he gets to pay him for being creepy.

[Renew Deal]

15. There's a good South Park episode explaining what Donohue is.

[electric_blue68]

24. Oh, yeah... him. 🙄

[keep_left]

27. The old joke is that the "Catholic" League is Bill Donohue and a fax machine.

That joke is still relevant because how many people these days have even seen a fax machine?! Bill Donohue increasingly seems like a political dinosaur, an Archie Bunker type who refuses to see the world moved on decades ago. Donohue is still heard occasionally in reactionary Catholic media like EWTN and Relevant Radio, but no one pays attention to those networks or has even heard of them. This is probably Donohue's attempt at clickbait.

[no_hypocrisy]

2. Catholic League should call itself "Bigoted Papists with No Brain and No Heart"

instead of Catholics.

There, feel better?

[JHB]

14. I don't know that "papist" is the right word. They think Francis is a slacker

Definitely a "more Catholic than the Pope" set.

[Conjuay]

3. yo, cat-lick league

mind your own fuckin business.

[Behind the Aegis]

5. Fuck them!

What is it about others deciding what we should or shouldn't be called?! Oh wait, it is the same bullshit that some feel the need to tell other minorities how they really feel, what their experiences are or aren't, and specialize in 'splainin'!

It is nothing more than dehumanization.

[Dorian Gray]

8. Donohue's

argument is one that essentially says anybody married in a non-Catholic wedding has no right to call their spouse husband and/or wife. It's ridiculous, and he's courting attention.

[Skittles]

6. the amount of damage done to people by the CC is incalcuable

they're truly disgusting

[ProfessorGAC]

11. This Isn't The Church

This is that group run by that tool Donohue.
His organization is a "lobbying" group but it's really a gift so he can get rich off RWNJ catholics.

[Skittles]

13. oh, so the church approves of gay marriage?

never mind.....

[ProfessorGAC]

20. Hardly My Point

I'm no defender of any religion. I think they're all stupid.
But, in this case the issue is one group of radicals run by one radical gifted.

[Skittles]

29. influenced by the church

I don't defend any religion either.....and I don't let them off the hook any more than I excuse the GOP for the actions of the Qanon nutcases....

[TheBlackAdder]

9. Angry, Divorced, League of ONE says What?

[Skittles]

16. what does the church say about gay marriage

?

[Mike Nelson]

10. Well...

... I think we should drop the "husband" / "wife" designations and just use "spouse" for everyone. It is gender neutral. If the Catholic League is not (I assume) interested in having sex with Buttigieg's spouse, his gender is really none of their business.

[AngryOldDem]

17. Bill Donohue and his ilk think they're more Catholic than the Pope.

Ignore them. They’re the equivalent of old men yelling at clouds.

Back in the late ‘90s they browbeat ABC into cancelling a really good and realistic show about parish priesthood, “Nothing Sacred,” mainly because it dared to discuss issues that offended the Catholic League’s delicate sensibilities, and depictec priests as humans and not saints among us.

Fuck them. (This is getting to be my standard response to any right wing bullshit.)

[badhair77]

18. Dear Catholic League: Pete and Chasten should call themselves

whatever they want. Stay in your own hateful lane.

[sakabatou]

19. The League has been a right-wing POS for decades.

[yellowcanine]

21. Oh stick it up your Right Wing Religious Asses.

You don't get to tell people what to do.

[Initech]

22. Fuck you Catholic League!

[Iggo]

23. The word husband is not found in nature and it wasn't invented by the writers of the bible.

It ain’t your word.

But thanks for playing, League.

[moonshinegnomie]

25. the catholic league should rename it self the pedophile league...

[Vinca]

26. Two words for them: pedophile priests.

[Eugene]

28. Lone far-right activist says what?

[Gore1FL]

30. This is an example of the Separation of Church and Dictionaries. nt
