Catholic League president defends pedophile priests: It's not rape if there was 'no penetration'

[Major Nikon]

5. It's hard to decide which is worse, child rapists or their enablers

In the case of Donohue, he has been defending child rapists for a very long time, both publicly and monetarily. He also has direct support from the diocese in New York. Very telling that.

Regardless of whether a majority of rank-and-file Catholics support Donohue, there’s unquestionably a great number who wish all the bad press on the subject would just go away. This includes a number of even DUers. So it’s hard to image he doesn’t have more support among Catholics at least in spirit. The lack of condemnation from mainstream Catholics and the Vatican speaks volumes.
