The Spring Break 2001 catalog of Abercrombie & Fitch resembles a porn magazine aimed at teenagers.  It also bashes Catholicism.

As soon as the media found out about the latest anti-Catholic exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, they contacted the Catholic League.

THE POLITICS AND PREJUDICES SURROUNDING THE “STOP ASHCROFT COALITION”

By |2017-03-20T17:57:10-04:00March 23rd, 2001|Categories: Catalyst, Features|Tags: |

We recognize that many of his critics simply had an honest disagreement with his thinking and thus had every right to oppose him. But we also know that a considerable segment of the anti-Ashcroft [...]

Those insipid "Earth’s Final Warning" ads, submitted by the Sweetwater Seventh Day Adventists, have reappeared. Both the Buffalo News and the Austin American-Statesman recently ran the hate-filled ads attacking the Catholic Church as the "Whore of Babylon." Our complaint with the former newspaper was well received—we got a pledge that it will not run the ads again. But the latter [...]
