The Catholic League said Thursday that it will sit out next year’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade in New York because event organizers aren’t letting an anti-abortion group march.
The group, formally known as the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, has been marching for 20 years, said its president, Bill Donohue. …

Dolan will still be there, with the queers.
Catholic League’s reason is BS. They should have pulled out regardless, as soon as they agreed to allow vile perverts to proselytize.
I attended my first parade (in NYC) a couple of years ago.I had so much fun that I promised to make it an annual event.Now I know I've seen my last one.
Problem is that there's no foreseeable plan of action to oppose the gay tide that doesn't somehow involve some people getting seriously hurt.
IMO the headline should have read “Catholic League’s William Donohoe Blinks”
Thank God I’ve always hated this parade! It upsets the city for 24 hours; it’s obnoxious. Now, it’s going to become a gay pride parade - boy, I may tune in just to see the organizers humiliated by these in-your-face freaks.
Live and Let Live has become You Must Accept Us.
Sorry, but no I don't.
They are not in charge of the Parade anymore.
Good.
Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor, not a parade organizer !!
Michael Fitzpatrick and Patrick Fitzmichael.
Glad he bowed out, but he just made room for the Irish Queers. We need to get strong-stomached and sue to march in their parades.
I marched in The Philly Parade a few times with the Fatima group right in front of the Pro-Lifers.My daughter was Queen for the Knights of Columbus in the Parade.She had so much fun.The Irish Gentlemen presented their cards to her looking for a date.Her sister-our youngest cried when my daughter got on the float so they pulled her on too.She was five.It’s called fun-your right.
If the ‘Church’ had any gonads, they would demand that the name St Patrick and the City of NY should not be as one as NYC is so worried about separation of ‘Church and State’.
So the way it looks a group of Fags and Sodomites will be marching in NYC on St Patricks day (celebrated) while people the ‘Church’ would/should be backing have to sit it out.
I realize it may be ‘giving in’ but we know how those Sodomites will be dressing and acting while the MSM will show the most OUTLANDISH photos and promote them under the banner of the St Patricks Day Parade so the Catholic Church should disassociate themselves from it..
Where is Bishop Fulton J. Sheen when we really need him?
Rolling over in his grave!!!!!
I agree! Catholics in NYC should demand that parade changes its name. What an affront to the memory of St Patrick.
“Before 1939, if a Guinness brewer wished to marry a Catholic, his resignation was requested.[14] According to Thomas Molloy, writing in the Irish Independent, “It had no qualms about selling drink to Catholics but it did everything it could to avoid employing them until the 1960s.”[15]” Wikipedia
Guinness was, at one time, no friend of the Catholic Irish and it dropped out of the sponsorship of the St. Patrick Days parade already. NOW, along comes the Ancient order of Hibernians and drops the “Catholic” out of Irish.
It is truly the end of the world.
And leading the way were, and are, many of the Catholic Cardinals and Bishops who were so busy building the NEW CHURCH OF ECUMENISM that they left the altar boys to the predators rather than reporting the pedophiles to the police.
Way to go, Bill!
Can St. Patrick get his name back?
Chained in his grave by Cardinal Dolan who won't release him to Peoria for the cause of his Sainthood.
If this were a level politically correct playing field, anyone could say they’re offended by the use of the name of St. Patrick, and viola! That would be it.
But now it will take years of court battles and big bucks to get the name removed probably.
I agree - the name should be removed.
If this were a level politically correct playing field, anyone could say they’re offended by the use of the name of St. Patrick,
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
And you can probably imagine that if the sodomites were denied entry in the parade some one would more than likely claim to be offended, removing the name but more likely with this Commie in office the City would disassociate itself.
Again even though ‘they’ will say ‘we’ gave in, any group sponsored by or through the Church should boycott AND the church should be OPENLY suggesting it.
I am conjuring up a vision of Troglodytes etal being granted permits to parade in lower Manhattan on 9/11 in the future.
AND they will probably point out all the ‘weird’ characters that march on Mar 17.
