Catholic League Triumphant

Mark Silk

Donohue puppet.jpgBill Donohue believes that he has single-handedly squashed Barack Obama’s National Catholic Advisory Council like a bug. That’s because, having called for the dissolution of the Council, he hasn’t been able to find any mention of it on the Obama website, and can’t get anyone from the campaign to say him aye or nay. Ergo, it doesn’t it exist. Q.E.D. Does it?
By the way, would such a campaign qualify as engaging in partisan politics, such that the IRS might be interested in opening an inquiry into the the 501 (c) (3) Catholic League’s tax status? Just asking.

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
