Kennedy, Tobin, Matthews, Donohue...

stpat's.jpgReacting to Chris Matthews’ hard-balling of Bishop Thomas Tobin, the Catholic League’s Bill Donohue huffs:

No non-Catholic would ever treat a bishop this way. But too many
liberal Catholics, especially Irish Catholics, think they are exempt
from the same standards of civility that apply to others.

Let’s just say that when it comes to the Irish Catholic civility exemption, Donohue has some personal expertise.

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.
