I direct your attention to David Gibson’s Benedictions blog for a quick run-down of the spat between Bill Donohue of the Catholic League and Barack Obama’s Catholic Advisory Board.

It’s hard to put Bill Donohue in his place, but they seem to have done a pretty good job.

The money quote, from Obama’s Catholic team:


“Mr. Donohue, your work to fight legitimate cases of anti-Catholic bigotry in this country should be applauded. But when you smear other Catholics with whom you disagree, you betray your own cause. Our measure of what it means to be a “good” Catholic is not defined by the narrow pronouncements of partisan operatives; but rather by the rich teachings of our Church and our informed consciences. “
