Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on reviews of “The Little Hours,” a movie he previously panned:
•“Unrepentant sacrilegious slapstick” (The Verge) •“Juvenile and bawdy and stupid and crude” (Flavorwire) •“Awash in sacrilegious revelry. Rarely has devotion been this dirty” (Film Journal) •“Not nearly as funny, biting, or smart as the films it’s so clearly trying to emulate” (IGN) •“Generally, the humor lacks bite” (Reason) •“At times, the atmosphere is so clubby that the actors seem to be performing for one another” (New York Times) •“You spend roughly half of The Little Hours waiting for the film to get going and the other half wishing it would hurry up and end” (Edinburgh International Film Festival) •“Ultimately, you’re just left wondering what it is and what the point of it all might be” (Los Angeles Times)

I once had a friend with whom I shared a sense of humor. We enjoyed comedy and general silliness and, being young and a bit rowdy, we held no cows sacred in our quest for a good laugh. I was and still am a devout Catholic, yet I viewed Life of Brian with her. It thought it was funny.
She moved away and years passed, and the Internet was born. I found her email address and we began to correspond. In her emails she mentioned a woman whom I shall call “Joan”. Since we had known a Joan back in the day and they had been good friends, I asked if that was the same Joan. She told me that it was not, in fact Joan was her ‘partner’. This was the first I heard of her lesbianism; she was previously married and had children.
In the spirit of our relationship, I said, “You were brave to tell me about your lifestyle, knowing how I might joke about it. You know: Don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t laugh.”
She never wrote to me again.
My conclusion: homosexuals have no sense of humor.
