13. The Catholic League is generally wrong on everything

Wed Nov 19, 2025, 12:13 PM

Wednesday

Donohue has defended the most egregious and sickening behavior of priests who exploited and abused children, only to be transferred to other parishes where they continued to prey on innocent kids.

Now this--another attempt to redefine the age bracket of pedophilia.

I 'came of age' biologically at 13. So according to Mr. Donohue, I was ripe for exploitation. Many girls today mature at earlier ages. So, if an 11-year old girl is sexually abused, we cannot label her abuser a pedophile?

This is flat-out evil, not to mention completely misogynistic.

There's a reason I left Mother Church.
