AL FRANKEN’S ANTI-CATHOLICISM: MEDIA MATTERS JUSTIFIES HIS BIGOTRY

It looks like Stuart Smalley's anti-Catholicism is more evident than ever.

A columnist for Media Matters, Eric Boehlert, posted a piece on October 25 criticizing an article by Katherine Kersten in the Minneapolis Star Tribune that took senatorial hopeful Al Franken to task for promoting anti-Catholicism.

Here is a sampling of Franken’s virulent anti-Catholicism:

· He has mocked the Eucharist
· He has ridiculed the crucifixion of Jesus
· He has slandered all priests as molesters
· He has belittled practicing Catholics (e.g., Knights of Columbus)
· He has disparaged the Church’s teaching on embryonic stem cell research
· He made crude jokes about a dying woman, Terri Schiavo, and then misrepresented her condition by passing her off as already dead

Scary that he could be elected, isn't it? What are his credentials? He'll get in if the great unwashed come out to vote.
