Jeremy Lott’s article, “Crisis Management” (9/27/04) contains some errors. Besides referring to an organization that doesn’t exist (“Catholics for Choice”) he engages in some curious speculation.
Referring to Catholic League president Bill Donohue’s press release on Deal Hudson, Lott writes, “Responding to complaints, the Catholic League has removed the press release from its website….” How does he know this? In fact, the release was removed because Deal Hudson requested that we remove it. We acceded to his request because he wanted to put this issue behind him. As for Lott’s remark that we “attempted a joke at the Virgin Mary’s expense,” we have files that he can look at to see real jokes at Her expense.
p>Finally, the characterization of Fr. Benedict Groeschel as a “ringer” is unfair. To say that his reaction to the sex-abuse crisis in the Church amounts to “blaming journalists” shows an ignorance of what Fr. Groeschel has actually written and spoken about on this topic. br> — Louis J. Giovino br> Director of Communications br> Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights br> New York, New York /p>
