FFRF’s ‘Quit the Catholic Church’ ad in today’s Washington Post

Click on image to enlarge.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation’s full-page ad, “It’s Time to Quit the Catholic Church,” runs in today’s Washington Post (A-5 Main), urging liberal and nominal Roman Catholics to “quit” their church over its war against contraception.

The provocative ad asks: “Will it be reproductive freedom, or back to the Dark Ages? Do you choose women and their rights, or Bishops and their wrongs?”

The ad is similar to the full-page ad that appeared in The New York Times in March, which is still creating shockwaves among conservative religionists. The Washington Post, unlike the Times, accepted FFRF’s punchy headline, “It’s Time to Quit the Catholic Church.”

Additionally, FFRF has placed the full-page ad with a splash of color on the back of the Washington Express, handed out for free to Metro riders and D.C. residents. Express distributors will be wearing the ad on their vests.

“It’s a disgrace that U.S. health care reform is being held hostage to your church’s irrational opposition to medically prescribed contraception,” the ad states. “No political candidate should have to genuflect before the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.”

  1. Well it’s a good start but I have to say I hope that’s all it is, hopefully it’s only just ‘the beginning of the end’ for all religion. I’m all for ‘freedom-of-speech’ but we have to put an end to this nonsense to protect our young people and children.
    Here in England I think we are just waking-up to the threat, over a year ago your own God TV. was looking for money here in Europe and the ‘UK. thermometer’ hardly moved but now we are ‘exporting’ Revelation TV. to your shores! Look-out for their resident ‘mad scientist’ Dr Grady McMurtry out of Florida I think, he has his own website and was scientist 20 years ago so he’s a very dangerous man, people on a phone-in show were readily believing him the other night, so YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
    I’m sorry to go a bit ‘off subject’ (again!) but on a much lighter note the BBC. bring you the excellent ‘HORRIBLE HISTORIES’ it’s funny but educational history for children on CBBC. and currently showing (as they say) so check the listings for details.
    However tonight we have – ‘THE TWO-THOUSAND-YEAR-OLD COMPUTER’ on BBC.4 at 9.00pm CET. I think it’s about the discovery made under-water in Greece, if you have trouble getting the programme check out ANTIKYTHERA MECHANISM on the web.
    Following-on the same channel a hour later – ‘DO WE REALLY NEED the MOON?’
    ENJOY
