Hey, Catholic League? We know that phrasing is the least of your problems right now, but come on:
It is interesting to note that the most irrational, indeed hysterical, reaction to PA grand jury report is coming from conservative Catholics. They are singularly incapable of making a cogent argument, so all they do is vent like little boys. They are a pitiful lot.

Especially this bit:
“Vent like little boys.” Interesting use of words. https://t.co/4vADiqqiaM

Good Lord.
Like little boys? Seriously?

"little boys" – ?!?!!¡!??!??

Wow. Complaining that people “vent like little boys” about the rape and sexual abuse of thousands of little boys. Between this and the Pope’s tweet about needing to show “affection” to priests…flabbergasting. Is the Catholic Church going to take some responsibility? When?

Do they vent like little boys before or after they've been raped by men they trusted?

Great PR, using the term "little boys" was just genius. Why is a moron like yourself pretending to speak for Catholics of any sort?

Far be it from us to tell Catholics what to do, but the Catholic League deserves to be shunned for their conduct in the wake of this scandal.

Disgusting! Wow! Just wow!

Just par for the course with them these days:
Actually the most irrational reaction came from you! ? The sexual abuse of children is frighteningly systemic and needs to be recognized as such: https://t.co/9AgBOXomgL pic.twitter.com/TOxiFNyxCB

Are you completely lacking in moral sense? Shame on you.

Catholic League defending child rape.
Disgusting.

The dismissive attitude and outright coverup of just a dastardly, sickening series of acts is unbelievable if it wasn’t true. No more tithing from me.
— Mike Haller (@MikeHaller) August 17, 2018
Certainly looks that way.
A reminder that the Catholic League has, since the early 1990's, essentially been a one-man-fiefdom of Bill Donohue, who is a monomaniacal hack. It is not formally affiliated with Catholic Church, for which they are no doubt grateful. https://t.co/r1mdlqo5Q5
