Last this Holy Week, Bill Donohue from the Catholic League of Religious and Civil Rights has communicated to the world by placing an advertisement in the New York Times, entitled Going For the Vatican Jugular. Donohue is a representative of the Catholic League of Religious and Civil Rights, yet, after reading Donohue's rants and writings, I would recommend Donohue seek future employment with the tabloids and/or Hollywood "petty gossip" magazines (http://www.bishop-accountability.org/news5/2010_03_30_Donohue_GoingFor.htm).

Obviously, the rules of communication and good faith are only for the faithful in the pews and the victims of abuse.
