You want Catholic Bashing, bitches????
Well, you got it now. Oh some evil slant anti catholic slant has apparently been tickling the ear of Mr. Newton I have come to read today. Apparently the Catholic readership we sought out in our massive advertising push over the Easter Break is not going as planned. Apparently the devout readers are a might bit offended and have bitten a piece of a sane mans ear enough for him to speak for this large population.
I know from the tens of millions of people that read our blog each day they may be occasionally offended. Because, well GOD forbid we put up a post of birth control or (*gasp*) alleged forced masturbation of Priests from VARIOUS schools in Delaware. I know, I know, we are awful Catholic hating people and we should stop. I have a great idea, let’s bury our heads in the sand and NOT report on anything catholic. It’s a great policy the church has adopted for a few hundred years. It’s worked well for them…
Yep, that is what we should do. “Oh that delaware-liberal they are anti catholic, I don’t read them” NOW I HAVE HEARD IT ALL. Did you know we hate the troops too? How about this, we even hate Jews for killing Jesus. Quite honestly I am a Muslim extremist and it is my hidden social agenda to slowly turn the catholic readership of Delaware onto each other so I can step out of the shadows and lead you all to MECCA! You will all wear burkas around your genitals and each month slowly I will get you to knit your own pieces to slowly cover your entire body except your butt hole and mouth hole. 2 very important orifices in many religions.
ALLAH AKBAR TO YOU ALL, ALLAH AKBAR, ALLAH AKBAR, ALLAH AKBAR!!!!!
Hey guess what, I am a citizen of Delaware and I voice my opinion. I am sorry if you don’t like it. How about I do one post a day about gumdrops and lollipops. Wheeeeeeeee, I will put on my saddle shoes and comb out some pigtails. We can gather around the fireplace and dream we are in 1950. Gee, paw, wouldn’t that be grand? Oh I know, we should do a weeklong series on Bishop Salterelli retiring and the Mick taking over for him. Would that make you all happy? We can talk about the changing of the guard, the handing over of the secret file that says who is and who isn’t a pedophile. I will talk about the Knights of Columbus and their funny hats. How it came to be they raided the Jim Henson’s leftover Muppet closet for the fuzzy stuff on their hats.
I have an idea we can talk about the great policies the Catholic Church has. Like when a woman wants her marriage annulled (sp?) and all she has to do to get it done is pay a nominal fee and PRESTO the church doesn’t recognize it anymore. WOW…Tetsels anyone! We’ve got salted, tetsels! Get your TETSEL’s HERE!!!!
Oh wait I know I will talk about all the great stories about how the church is shutting it’s doors on the People of St. Hedwig, St Thomas and what’s that other school St. Helena’s? Oh it doesn’t matter does it? Not really, because that same beloved Catholic church that tells the parents WE will be open for 2 years is the Bastion of Honesty when they tell the parents 2 weeks before school closes that, “OH my bad, we aren’t staying open next year.” Whoops, good luck getting into another school though; we know their enrollment closed in April. Oh, but we made the sign of the cross and father clasped his hands as he told you in the church hall, so to be honest we are even now.
Yep, we hate the Catholic Church because we point out their failings. You didn’t see me put up a post when St. Anthony’s put up a fence and charged $5 to keep out the (*gasp*) he isn’t going to say it is he….Moolies (*Oh jesus donviti not again*)….
Oh yes, the Beloved Catholic Gladiator of Wilmington, doing what it can to keep the community going. Showing that catholic brand of inclusion. Well if that comes at the expense of some blacks and Puerto Ricans so be it. The ones that want to pay $5 to have some fun in the city without all Da Blacks now can.

To read the great things being said about the Catholic Church by other obvious anti catholic people. But sure, Delaware liberal and their anti Catholic slant. Sorry, I will no longer post the bad things and will start a “happy post of the day” for all you people seeking Hosannah on the High when you come here.
If we are a Christian Nation, when are the groups that lead us going to start acting Christian?
Christian Nation my ass.
bless you my son
You are smited.
DV, I just noticed that your bad grammar is inversely proportional to your vitriol and sarcasm!
I am speechless, and I actually clicked on all of those links.
~~~CORRECTION~~~
(proper grammar for your earthly, mortal police)
Thouest hath been smited!
wow chief, take a breath and count to ten next time
my message cannot be restricted with the niceties of grammar.
It drives VC nuts by the way 🙂
Just throw the tripe in a Word doc first! That’s all I ask. 😉
I believe DV’s just keeping it real!
Let us not bash any religion for they all are about the same reading the books of science fiction the Bible and Koran you know the ones that believe in the Lady and the Snake and people flying Thur the air with and without wings. So lets leave these folks alone and allow them to go their own way as long as they leave us alone!!!
foshizzle my nizzle
Agree with VC. Christian Nation is a misnomer.
Brilliant[est] post, though.
Yes, “When they leave us alone”…
That’s the problem isn’t it?
thanks lyman! (aka mom)
word(ed) for your pleasure
Actually, this one I liked. It actually had some content. It’s a pity that only Pandora has actually tried to take on the actual issue I raised.
Threat? My ass. I made a point about how all this stuff could be used.
dv responded with a rant. dv does great rants. dv’s rant boils down to: the church is imperfect, often downright awful. This is news? Dennett and Dawkins have been doing that and doing it better for more than a decade.
See, here’s the interesting point: people who want to play Ron Williams’ conscience, who credit themselves with entering the public policy debates and having an impact on windpower, people who trumpet themselves as movers and shakers who are trying to build a true progressive Democratic Party, and you get upset, dv, because I point out that having it both ways is a dangerous game?
You marginalize yourself.
You could have chosen to actually talk about the issue I raised (and I raised it in just as provocative a manner–albeit without the profanity and misspellings–I’m not as good as that), but you didn’t.
You haven’t hit me, dv, you haven’t even aimed at me.
You are all so smited.
And let it be known, the scribe and the readers of this thread shall be the smited tribe of Delaware…except me, for I am the smite-ee.
wooohoooo, newty approves!
Alas, Steve… only “some” content? 😉
Man, donfeces, you are so fucking real! I am sure that you are sitting there with your chest all puffed out about how real you keep it. You are so shocking and brave! You just put all of those Catholics in their places and you don’t care who it offended! Man, you are the fuckest realest!
What a fucking loser. You really are pathetic. The saddest part is most of the people that contribute/comment here know it. They just won’t say anything about it. Most of them have made back-handed comments about what a pig and joke you are, but they never fully confront you. You are like their little feces-throwing monkey.
It’s hilarious how you think that what you write is shocking, brave and “real”…how you tell it like it is when no one else has the balls to do it. What a fucking joke. You are a little fucking boy…and whether you want to admit, or if anyone else will admit it, that’s how you are viewed.
I say this in all honesty: I pity you, my son. I pity your wife. And I especially pity your daughter. You see, your wife was dumb enough to marry your sorry ass. Your daughter, however, didn’t sign up to be hitched to your pathetic wagon. Donny, don’t think for a second that she doesn’t realize what an utter fraud her father is and that she is not perpetually embarrassed by you. You are an out-and-out joke. It must be heartbreaking for a young girl to see her father the way that your daughter sees you.
I know that writing these “shocking” posts makes you feel like a big man…In fact, I am quite sure it is all you have in the world (that and your wine tastings). But seriously, donny, you are an insignificant dolt and an embarrassment to your family…especially your daughter.
“Keeping it real”…What a fucking clown you are!
Hey, some as opposed to none is an improvement. Besides, what I meant is that there was content AND artful invective.
For God’s sake–scuse me, forgot where I was–for the Flying Spaghetti Monster’s sake–nothing like THIS rant would I ever object to. I don’t object to the subject he was raising in the other. What I was making was the observation that when you don’t actually put content with the sarcasm (and I don’t think the other post did), then you put yourself out there.
This is particularly true when one of the often-stated missions of at least some members of the DL team is to actually effect positive change in the political system.
dv is one of those bloggers, quite frankly, (I know I am going to regret saying this) is better when he writes longer rather than shorter. His longer stuff is passionate, creative, and interesting; his short stuff often just comes off as gratuitously mean. Do I want him to change? Hell, no. It’s half the fun of reading here.
But if you’re going to spend your time putting out uncomfortable ideas for everybody else to chew on, it makes you look (let me get in touch with my inner dv, here) like a wounded whining pussy who got hit on the wrist too many times by a repressed lesbian nun and never got over it when you object to other people doing the same.
I would expect a man with your moniker, A. Bundy, to have a better sense of humor. Alas, you’re just another nutjob douchebag. I happen to think donfeces makes quite a few salient points in this screed that was, no doubt, a product of his ingenious stream-of-consciousness writing style!
I find no intellect, cleverness, or decency in invoking someone’s children. It’s vile and inexcusable. You want to know where my “blogger’s line” is? Kids are OFF the fucking table!
(And for those of you who know me, I rarely use the F word in print.)
A. Bundy – the Mr. T of the DE blogosphere!
wudda tosser.
BTW – DV’s parenting of his daughters would make a Traditionalist proud. And unlike you, AB, I do know what I’m talking about….you know, since I actually know the bloviating douchebag!
A. Bundy
What Pandora said.
(Except I probably do say fuck more often than she does.)
The Catholic Church offers you the path to eternal salvation and you’re pissed off because some bureaucrat that works for us closed your daughters school a year early
aren’t you forgetting the bigger picture?
Hey folks lighten up there are more serious things to discuss. Remember no one wins a religious argument they are more than likely settled by wars. You know the Christian way
Tom, you’ve been eating too many christ crackers.
Tom, if my daughter’s school closed with that kind of short notice, the school also offering me a big ol’ can of crazy to wash it down wouldn’t make me feel any better.
Dear Don Viti:
I’m sorry you feel that Catholic obligation forced you to marry that c.nt of an ex-wife you have.
That sucks, but the Pope never asked you to plow her arugula with your three-inch wonder stick.
Next time, rub one out in the back seat of your AMC Gremlin and things won’t go all crazy for you.
Yours,
Fr. Sarcasmo.
it was a skylark not a gremlin Father.
Twas a metaphor for your naughtiness!!!!
Skylark just isn’t a funny punchline.
Abundy,
from 9-5 I am dickhead blogger. from 5:01 to 8:59 I am a great guy that goes to church, studies math with his kids and takes them to blue rocks games.
99% of the public would say I’m a great guy when I get cancer and die. So, to be honest, I don’t give a shit what you say. I will be a fucking martyr when I get pancreatic cancer.
Where do I sign up for the 1% club?
My money’s on anal cancer!
I can do a donviti, DBB, DTB, former DHB death poll if you want…you get to pick the year and the ailment
November 5, 2014 — autoerotic asphyxiation (you were suffering mid-term election boredom)
I can’t even imagine what such a poll would yield.
Or mid-erection boredom, PP.
November 5, 2014–Democrats sweep the last remaining Republican seats in the South for total control of the House of Representatives. In the Senate, only 12 Republicans remain. President Obama is declared the next Pope. Vice President Biden makes a gaffe.
I have never been bored mid-erection.
“President” Obama in 2014????
You really have no idea what the Clintons are up to, do you?
I don’t know which will be more exciting, watching your audacity of dope this election, or watching you swallow Clinton spunk when she wins the nomination in 2012.
aha.
Just found Don Viti’s real reason for hating on Catholics…..
From Zogby:
“Catholics, who are always a critical voting bloc, favored Obama by 11% in mid-July. Now, they favor McCain by 15%.”
Amen.
Care to enlighten us as to what the Clintons are up to, Professor?
The way I see it Clinton and Obama are linked. No matter which one won the primary they are linked. A loss will be a loss for both of them. Unless you see Obama supporters rushing to her side in 2012.
BTW, the same scenario would have applied to Obama if Clinton had won.
Dems aren’t Repubs. We really don’t believe in second chances.
The Clintons aren’t up to what they should be if they were interested in seeing Obama win. You know it. You won’t talk about, but you know they sitting out.
The fallout of 2008 won’t be a fart bubble in a jacuzzi come 2012.
Kerry tested the waters in 2000. You should have won with him in 2004. You didn’t.
Hillary will not sit this out. Timing is everything. Wait and see…
OK, I’ll admit to not reading Donviti’s post for a couple of days, but when I lived in Hockessin, the Catholic schools were packed. Corpus Christi, where my daughters went, was crammed full, 33 students per class, and they ate their lunches at their desks, because there was no room in that large building for a cafeteria. When my older daughter finished at Corpus Christi, she was accepted at Padua, but Padua still had a waiting list, and the only Catholic high school that guaranteed admission (if you listed it as your first choice on the placement test) was St Mark’s.
(Maybe the non-diocesianCatholic high schools like Archmere and Ursuline guaranteed admission, if you could come up with the $12,000 tuition — in 2002 — payment.)
So, what happened? How is it that the Catholic schools in Wilmington would have any closures, when they were packed?
Socio-economics, Dana.
Yes, there is a social and financial hierarchy among Catholic schools. My children attended COK, and like DV we were blind-sided when it closed. And yes, we were spun the same tale about the school staying open. And yes, they made the announcement after the “Choice” deadline for public schools had passed. I was furious and my children were devastated.
St. Hedwigs, COK, St. Thomas, and the others that have been closed are not wealthy parishes – and don’t kid yourself these closings were about money. Fair enough, but I always wondered why the dioceses didn’t pull its money and spread it around.
A lot of the schools that closed served high poverty children. And I couldn’t help but wonder… had Jesus been alive today which schools he would have closed.
The jesus you speak of never existed. He was concocted by a group of men in 325 A.D. for political purposes.
smite, smite, smite!
oh man, you are soo anti catholic! you are forever labled as such now!
Well, Corpus Christi isn’t a wealthy parish, but it provided the school for St Mary of the Assumption in Hockessin, and that is a wealthy parish.
