Yeah, he makes me so angry I feel like committing violence. Then I’d be justified, right?

If you apply Donohue's logic, offending any Catholic is justification for them coming after you and killing you.

If he justifies the "provocation" as the cause, then "provoking" any Catholic justifies the same action.

That's how moral equivalency works, and that's why moral equivalency always FAILS.

Except that provocation and justification have entirely different meanings.

You are right, of course.

And Donohue is wrong. Foolishly wrong.
