… so you don’t have to! The New York Times reports that the Catholic League is demanding that John Edwards dismiss two bloggers working on his campaign “for expressing anti-Catholic opinions.”
In a statement released Tuesday, the president of the Catholic League said, â??John Edwards is a decent man who has had his campaign tarnished by two anti-Catholic vulgar trash-talking bigots.â?�
The trash talk in question? Amanda Marcotte wrote on her blog that the church’s ban on contraception forced Catholic women “to bear more tithing Catholics.”
I’m sorry, but … which part of that isn’t true, exactly? The Catholic Church is the most successful industry in the history of the world because, with a business plan like that, you just can’t lose.
