Catholic League: Pope's Burial Ends the Lull—Storm Coming

Today, Catholic League president William Donohue remarked as follows:

“The storm is about to hit. For the most part, anti-Catholic bigots and the disaffected dissidents within the Church have been quiet. What they have been waiting for is about to happen: the week between the end of the mourning and the beginning of the conclave is upon us. And that means the Left is ready to explode.

“Consider what we’ve heard already. Amidst the mostly favorable coverage by the media of Pope John Paul II, he has been branded as follows: an authoritarian who seeks to silence dissent; the enemy of homosexuals; a misogynist; a polarizing figure; a man who is out of touch with the modern world; a contributor to death due to AIDS in Africa; responsible for the sexual abuse scandal; and so on.”

My Comments:

Brace yourselves. The attacks started last Friday before John Paul II was even dead, although the attacks were tempered by grudging praise for the Pope's accomplishments. Now that the time has passed for the mainstream media to give him credit for those of his accomplishments that it deems worthy of notice, the attacks will just get worse.
