ANTI-JESUIT PROPAGANDA

November 26, 2000

One of the most obnoxious anti-Jesuit publications is Free American; it also has a website by that name.  It is the work of some right-wing/super patriot/traditionalist/fundamentalist group of conspiratorial maniacs who hate Catholics.  And they hate the Jesuits most of all. According to these nuts, the Jesuits run the CIA, KGB, FBI, the Mafia Commission... [Read more...]

BILL MAHER JUST CAN’T GIVE IT UP

November 26, 2000

It seems a week cannot go by without another incident of Catholic bashing on the ABC late night show “Politically Incorrect.”  What seemed like host Bill Maher’s lack of entertainment material has blossomed into a full obsession with slamming the Catholic faith.

CATHOLIC WAR VETERANS

CENSORING RELIGIOUS ART

November 26, 2000

About a year ago, we raised a ruckus over the dung-splattered Virgin Mary at the Brooklyn Museum of Art.  At the time, we maintained that it was apparently acceptable to deface religious art, but it wasn’t okay to display it in a reverential manner.  Not, at least, if the art in question has any connection with public monies or public property. ... [Read more...]

John Cornwell, the author of the diatribe against Pope Pius XII, Hitler’s Pope, was the subject of a formal complaint in Italy as soon as his book went on sale.  Emma Fattorini, professor of contemporary history at Rome’s La Sapienza, has accused Cornwell of misrepresenting historical facts in service to his politicized agenda.

DETROIT FREE PRESS BASHES CATHOLICS

November 26, 2000

The September 26 edition of the Detroit Free Press ran a cartoon by Mike Thompson on the subject of vouchers that was blatantly anti-Catholic. All six cells ridiculed school vouchers, but it was the last one that crossed the line with Catholics.
