It is particularly disgusting and offensive when anti-Catholics use holidays as a chance to mock or attack Catholics.Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on this season’s Halloween costumes:
There are costumes depicting Jesus, priests, nuns, ministers, rabbis and imams, and most of them are innocuous. But there are two costumes that are vulgar, and, as usual, they are designed to offend Catholics: a priest with an erection and a pregnant nun, often sold as a pair.
Some immigrant groups are upset about an illegal alien costume, but even those who are complaining don’t say it is vulgar. A mere depiction of Muhammad in a Danish cartoon that was anything but vulgar led to riots. Now imagine what would happen if we paired Muhammad sporting an erection with a Latina illegal alien? Not to worry, it’s only Catholic clergy and religious that the bigots want to bash.

I am split on this stuff. Ignoring it only seems to bring out worse yet attacking it seems to go nowhere. I really see the potential, right here in America, of outright attacks on Catholics. I don't worry about it, I simply will take whatever comes. But these things are only a symptom of a deep hatred for Catholics, even Christians in general I think.
