Catholic League - sigh...

I just read the ad in the New York Times placed by the Catholic League complaining that no one at ABC has apologized for the "offences" committed by Rosie O'Donnell and Joy Behar on that hard-hitting, intellectual achievement - The View. I'm not sure Barbara Walters' career will survive their attack.

Keeping this nice and polite, below is the feedback I provided to the Catholic League, though my true derision knows no bounds.

To the Catholic League:
Seriously, you make a mockery of yourself with such a silly advertisement in the New York Times.

I was raised Catholic, but I have utter respect for a country that allows a diversity of opinions to be expressed - it's called "Freedom of Speech."

Have some confidence that those who follow Catholic teachings are less likely to have their faith influenced by Rosie O'Donnell, than they are by their readings, their priests and their God.

Instead of wasting money expressing your dislike of a talk show, put that money toward spreading Catholic faith through good works - go help the homeless or comfort the sick. If you don't like what a celebrity has to say, just turn the channel.

I'm sincerely embarrassed for you. What a stupid PR decision.
