Matthew 5:10-16 is perfect for this occasion.

(10)Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
(11)”Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. (12)Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
(13)”You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.
(14)”You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. (15)Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. (16)In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

Nothing there suggests you start complaining and persecuting those who persecute you.

I do not abide the sleeze that passes as art that is sacrilege in every abhorent meaning of that word. We know what that garbage is when we see it.

By our Acts, not our words. I cannot dictate my Catholic Faith to anyone.

What Donohue has been doing the past several years, especially on Fox, is demagoging…and in doing so he “proves” for way too many non-Catholics, and proves to the sleeze-mongers and other slimes, that all their stereotypes about all Catholics…intolerant, bigoted, tools of the papacy, rigid, dogmatic in the extreme, the Christian equivalent of the Mullahs and sharia, are “true.”

Donohue does all of us more harm than good.

Yeah, it’s gets a lot of print in the Catholic Chronical and other Catholic media…and a lot of us nod our heads in Church and in our homes and say…yep, Donohue is right.

But he’s preaching to the choir. And in doing so he is keeping a lot of non-Catholics out of the vestibule.

Frightening away non-Catholics who might wish to hear, see, witness what being Catholic is really all about. But all they have to work with is an image of an intolerant raging Donohue.

Donohue has made the Catholic League on par with the JDL…and easily plays into the hands of the sleeze mongers, and doesn’t even realize it most of the time.

As a fellow Catholic, sometimes I wish he’d shut the hell up.

As another fellow Catholic, I agree. I hope no one believes that tool is representative of Catholics. With Donnie, it’s all about “me me me” and getting his over-fed, ugly mug on any and every news network that’ll have him. Again.

He’s a tiger.

I almost spit coke onto the keyboard I was laughing so hard.

Bill Donohue is an embarrassment. My wife (a Catholic) looks at him the same way I (a Jew) look at the anti-defimation league.

Where I come from that would be called murdered. What is this executed business?

And you can’t even get a drink. That’s the Dems for ya…

no booze? you gotta be kidding me

For Catholics contemplating voting Democratic, there’s an old saying: “When you sleep with dogs, you wake up with fleas.”

In other words, if you find on-demand abortion, personal immorality and open ridicule of your Christian faith offensive, then don’t vote for the party that actively supports them.

Well said. Let’s get some conservatives elected to the House and Senate.

In other words, if you find on-demand abortion, personal immorality and open ridicule of your Christian faith offensive, then don’t vote for the party that actively supports them.

First, he forgets that he is not generating a whole lot of positive vibes toward the rest of the Catholics, like me, from the rest of America.

Second, the best strategy against an offensive blog or media outlet is to let them go ahead and blog, or publish. The market place almost always seems to win that battle. Take a look at Air America Radio, or the former Mastheads of the great American press. How’s their profitibility these days? What sort of demographic do they appeal to anymore? Kos really have any sort of authority in any circle anymore other than the lunatic left?

Bill, being a conservative, you should understand this.

Third, if the DNC wants to sponsor a Transsexual Grandfathers for Incest Federation (TGIF) [ or per Hening, at 5:10 PM, the Hair Club for Men. ] and give them center seat, front row at the Democrat convention, by all means, let them. It’ll help the Republican cause far far more than you, Donohue, are helping right now.

P.S. Did the Democrats really invite a blogger called Bitch PhD with a website as described??

Saudi girl executed for becoming Christian

A young girl in Saudi Arabia was brutally executed by her Muslim father this week after he learned his daughter had converted to Christianity.

Middle East business news website Zawya.com reported that the man, who is a prominent member of a “virtue committee,” first cut out his daughter’s tongue and held a one-sided religious debate with her. He then burned his daughter alive.

Observant Muslims hold that their Prophet Mohammed taught that Muslims who convert to any other religion must be killed, often in extremely brutal fashion.

Yeah, its those Christian terrorists that’ll get you every time.
