    Donohue's reaction to Britney's stunt...

    ... played right into the hands of Britney's promoters. The MTV article can't even get past the fact that this sort of thing has been done before ad nauseum. Why let it succeed by recognizing it?

    Kiera McCaffrey, the Catholic League’s president of Media Relations, takes a much more reasonable "dismissing" approach to Britney's antics, as CNA reports. The less said the better.

    Furthermore, Donohue's needless digs at Britney's professional career are going to also backfire as it looks like Britney's newest CD is actually a hit and will top the charts next week. Good one.

    Update: Shelray of C-L-S agrees, and puts it well:
    The conundrum on how to fulfil our obligation to protect the Church from slander and abuse while not feeding in to the hands of the desperate publicity hounds and those who take joy in wounding the Church is nothing short of frustrating. In my opinion, a great place to start would be to focus mainly on the issue at hand and not on the perps themselves. Given the fact that there will always be attacks at some level aimed at the Church, we must not only do our best to avoid doing any collateral damage which may feed the fire of anti-catholicism but also train ourselves to remain calm, couragous and sincere in our defense of Catholics and the truths within the Church. Easier said than done, I know. That’s not to say that from time to time I haven’t indulged in the guilty pleasures of seeing Donahue giving them hell.
