  Please cite the names of these "original activists", the
names of the organizations you call "politically correct
pressure groups", and your evidence indicating these
people attended Catholic schools.

  You left out the pro abortion and anti abortion groups.
If the "gay rights groups" are secretly part of the Great
Papist Conspiracy, then surely both kinds of abortion
groups are part of it too?

  There is an apparent contradiction here. In the same
paragraph you imply that the matters under protest are the
concerns of one third of the population. Then you go on to
assert that these same matters "...are the concerns of a
handful of Catholic priests".

  Since "a handful of Catholic priests", can't constitute a
third of the population, there seem to be some people
missing.

  Please define "political correctness", and name the

  Please cite the names of these politicians and the claims
you assert they've made. Please cite your evidence these
politicians are Catholic, and that their claims to supporting
"mainstream values", are, in fact, untrue. A definition of
"mainstream values" would also be appropriate.

  Please explain how, "a boycott of Catholic politicians",
differs from simply voting for the candidate you like as
opposed to voting for the candidate you dislike?

  This piece may be intended as propaganda to fan the flames
of religious intolerance. If so, the author needs to look closer
at some of the classics of modern propaganda. This is pathetic.
