GAY ACTIVISTS BULLY D.C. PRIESTS

November 20, 2009

Catholic League president Bill Donohue addresses a serious issue
involving gay activists in the District of Columbia:

A new homosexual website, ChurchOuting.org, is intent on publicly
disclosing who the gay priests are in the Archdiocese of Washington.
The goal of this outing is to intimidate gay priests, as well as
heterosexual priests who may be “romantically involved,” into voicing
objections to the Catholic Church’s opposition to gay marriage.

This initiative is the work of Phil Attey, self-described as “Liberal-
Gay-Ardent Obama Supporter”; he was active in the Obama Pride Metro-DC
campaign. According to one news report, “Attey is going to approach
priests he thinks are gay, and warn them that they better stop
lobbying against gay people, seeing how gay they are…or…else?”

Catholic priests are also being pressured to sign the “Declaration of
Religious Support for Marriage Equality,” a statement by Clergy United
for Marriage Equality. The statement, while it is not one we support,
is respectfully written. Accordingly, we will write to members of the
Steering Committee of this group asking them to dissociate themselves
from this attempted hijacking of their effort.

The Catholic League is prepared to assist any priest in the
Archdiocese of Washington who is the victim of harassment,
intimidation or stalking. Whatever resources the priest needs, we will
see to it that he is served. If radical gay activists want a showdown
with the Catholic League, we will not disappoint them.

As I responded, we are the protectors of religious human rights,
whether they are altar boys or regular parishoners. We were the ones
who lobbied hard about zero tolerance. You give me a break.

i have no idea of your agenda or what you do and really have no
interest, but it seems that your zero tolerance thingy isnt doing very
well since predator priests are still a dime a dozen and are protected
by the vatican until enough people make an uproar... shameful stuff

Oh well, the abuses happened in the 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s. You seem to
be living in the past still. I'd bet that the next thing you would
invoke are the Crusades and the Inquisitions.

It's time to live in the present.

are you suggesting that there are no recent accounts of abuses?

Humans continue to fail, however, the abuses were in the past and it
will continue to be monitored. Zero tolerance is the current policy.
If someone fails, he will be dealt with severely.
