“In the 1950s, Hollywood generally avoided crude fare and was respectful of religion. Today it specializes in crudity and trashes Christianity, especially Catholicism,” Donohue said in a statement.

You pedophiles do that all by yourselves.

8. I realize the popular media can't resist Mr. Donahue, the attention slut

But can they PLEASE make it clear that he and his organization speak for nobody but themselves? Furthermore, if they insist on running his little press releases verbatim, could they at least have the decency to seek out his deathless opinions on every other topic tangentially related to the Catholic Church? For example, they could find out what he has to say about the hierarchy's relentless practices of covering up for pedophiles. Or glean his thoughts about the suitability of a Mormon as our next president. Maybe they could get his opinion on "just war" and unprovoked aggression vis-a-vis the United States' foreign policy?

Or doesn't that quite fit the agenda?

Please, like any Catholic organization has a moral standing to tell others how to behave.

This appears to be the least accurate documentary about church life the Farrelly brothers have ever made.

17. Uh-oh! Straight woman reaction (mine) I hate it too. Must Not Agree With Whack-jobs!

But the reason I hate it is it makes a nice looking woman seem dumpy and misshapen. A little different angle from what sexually repressed Donohoe is coming from!
