The Obtuseness of Maureen Dowd: Catholic Bashing 101


Bear with me, friends...

From the poisoned pen of self-loathing Catholic (bigot) Maureen Dowd:


Standing a few feet away from Jerry Sandusky, as he laughed and reminisced with friends in the front row of the courtroom, made me want to take a shower.

Just not in the Penn State locker room.

That was the gateway to horror where innocence was devoured by evil, over and over and over again, without a word being said. Just rhythmic smacking and slapping noises, silent screams, gutted psyches.

The lead witness in Sandusky’s trial — the former defensive coach at Penn State is charged with molesting 10 boys over 15 years — was a nice-looking, short-haired 28-year-old in white shirt and tie, a narrow parenthesis of a man.

He seemed confident enough when he started, but, as he talked, he grew more and more agitated, running his hand and fist over his face, sliding glances at the 68-year-old, no-neck monster Sandusky at the defense table, staring at the pictures of himself as a young boy with a big grin and bowl cut, relishing the thrilling new world of football heroes that Sandusky had opened up to him. In the photos the prosecution put up on a screen, Sandusky’s hand was usually gripped, mano morta, on the boy’s shoulder.

By the end of his testimony, he looked haunted and acted jittery. His pain seemed fresh.

The prosecution charges that Sandusky used Second Mile, his charity for disadvantaged kids, as a perverted recruiting tool, putting asterisks next to the names of boys who were fatherless and blond, making up weird contracts for boys to sign, giving them money, ostensibly for doing good schoolwork, but really as a way to keep them from fleeing — and telling.

Like pedophile priests, Sandusky was especially vile because he targeted vulnerable boys.

Like pedophile priests...???

Doesn't Ms. Dowd mean  "Like homosexual pedophiles..."?

No... I'm not attacking homosexuals...

I'm not attacking men...

I'm not attacking priests...

I'm not attacking football coaches...

What I'm attacking is this self-loathing anti-Catholic bigot Dowd creating a false linkage between a priest pedophile and a football coach pedophile based upon... er... nothing but spite and venom I suppose... rather than the actual common denominator - that both pedophiles were engaging in homosexual pedophilia!

Why bring "priests" into her column at all? 

Why not rabbis...???

Why not teachers...???

Why not cops... firefighters... nurses... and on and on and on...???

Listen, folks, evil people are evil people and every occupation... every demographic... has its share. 

Is pedophilia more prevalent within the homosexual "community" (or perhaps the bi-sexual "community") or the heterosexual "community?"

I have no friggin' idea!

What percentage of Catholic clergy worldwide have engaged in homosexual - or heterosexual - pedophilia over... hmm... say the 50 years of my own life as compared to rabbis or Protestant clergy (by the way, I'm Episcopal) or monks or imams or... or... or... 

You get the point, folks.

Bottom line... Maureen Dowd should be ashamed of herself.
