Fail Tweet: Donohue thinks new law to reveal clerical child abuse is “war on Catholicism”

| »

Ireland is currently considering a new law that would force Catholic priests to disclose cases of child sexual abuse revealed in confessionals. Naturally, the clergy is furious – how dare lawmakers besmirch their carefully crafted system of shielding child molesters from accountability? That’s just wrong … and, as the ever-reliable Bill Donohue of the Catholic League points out, is just another step in the pursuit to destroy the Catholic Church as we know it:

You know, in case you ever needed confirmation regarding where priests’ and their defenders’ loyalties lie. What chance do raped children stand when there’s precious dogma to be upheld?
