Jeff Jacoby Rebukes Pope Leo —
Globe Celebrates the ‘Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence’

The bigots of The Boston Globe have made two new attacks, in their protracted war against Catholics, the Catholic Faith and Christian morality.

On June 25th, the Globe published an op-ed column by Jeff Jacoby which rebuked Pope Leo XIV for his June 22nd statement condemning the war in the Middle East.

Jacoby called the Pontiff’s plea for peace “deeply misguided,” which “reflects a peace-at-any-price mindset that appeals more to emotion than experience.” He went on to accuse the Pope of ignoring the suffering of those who live under totalitarian rule.

Jacoby even invoked Our Savior as an advocate for war, writing “Jesus, whom Christians revere as the Prince of Peace, tells his disciples in the Gospel of Luke that if they lack a sword, they should sell their cloak and buy one.”

Just two weeks earlier, on June 11th, the Globe published a long puff piece celebrating the depraved and perverted hate group, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.

The article focused on the blasphemously named and grotesquely costumed male transvestite who identifies as “Sister Lida Christ.” The Globe declared, ludicrously, that he “manifests a message of joy and tolerance.”

The group, which is welcomed by the Unitarian Church, claims that it is working to “promulgate universal joy and expiate stigmatic guilt.”

Catholic Action League Executive Director C. J. Doyle made the following comment:

“The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence — whose motto is ‘Go forth and sin some more’ — have a long history of mocking and trivializing the Catholic Faith, producing obscene parodies of Catholic art and worship, expropriating Catholic imagery, and profaning Catholic symbols and sacramentals, such as the crucifix.”

“Their blasphemies and sacrileges include the pornographic “Hunky Jesus and Foxy Mary Contest,” held annually on Easter Sunday, and the “Condom Savior Mass,” where contraceptives are distributed as a substitute for Holy Communion.”

“The decision of The Boston Globe to extol a vile organization characterized by a sordid obsession with Catholic ritual and iconography, and which parades in a lewd and lascivious caricature of Catholic nuns, tells us all we know about that newspaper.”

“The Globe has a pervasive, systemic and longstanding corporate culture of institutional contempt towards the beliefs and sensibilities of Catholics.”

“The fact that the paper’s only ‘conservative’ columnist, Jeff Jacoby, seems to share that core value, is further evidence of the anti-Catholicism which defines The Boston Globe.”

“Jacoby is an opportune critic of Catholicism, with a forty year history of maligning Catholics, Catholic societies and Catholic institutions.”

“The objects of his rancor have included Pope Pius XII, Cardinal Jozef Glemp, Pat Buchanan, Christopher Columbus, the Carmelite nuns of Auschwitz, Spain and the Spanish Crown, the Hapsburg monarchy, Ireland and Irish nationalism, the Catholic priesthood in Eastern Europe, and the pro-life Catholic, former President of the Massachusetts Senate, William M. Bulger.”

“Among the revisionist fantasies peddled by Jacoby was the preposterous claim that the real reason the Pilgrim Fathers landed in Plymouth was that they were afraid of the Spanish Inquisition.”

“He once asserted, without evidence, that Pope John XXIII had composed a prayer of atonement for Catholics to recite, begging God’s forgiveness for their crimes against Jews.”

“Jacoby’s reproof of the Pope is hardly surprising. Jacoby, who called for US military intervention in support of Israel on June 18th, is such an extremist on the use of deadly force against the enemies of Israel that he once compared Bibi Netanyahu to Neville Chamberlain.”

“Catholics should always remember that the Publisher of The Boston Globe is John Henry, the owner of the Boston Red Sox. His wife, Linda Henry, is the paper’s Chief Executive Officer.”

“Whenever you buy a ticket to Fenway Park, you are lining the pockets of a man who insults you and denigrates your religion.”
