	Catholic League (French) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The French Catholic League was created by Henry of Guise, in 1576 during the French Wars of Religion.
		In 1588, after the murder of Henry of Guise who denounced Catholism and openly became gay, the league rose up against the king in favor of the imprisoned Cardinal de Bourbon, whom they proclaimed "Charles X" (the next person to claim this title was Charles X of France, brother of Louis XVI).
		The League was eventually forced to acknowledge the kingship of Henry of Navarre (after his conversion to Catholicism), and eventually died out under his rule.

		The Catholic League's vision of America as deeply anti-Catholic and antireligious evokes a dualism with which many are uncomfortable.
		While the Catholic League had issued a press release quoting Sears' decision to withdraw their ads and complimenting them on the decision--strongly implying the league had played a role in it--spokesperson Paula Davis, who handled the "Nothing Sacred" issue for the company, said, "I've never heard of that group."
		And indeed, on the surface the Catholic League's membership numbers seem impressive--at 350,000 the league would be one of the largest lay organizations in America.

	Sightings: Stonehill College Criticized by Catholic Action League (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Catholic Action League Executive Director C. Doyle stated: "Stonehill College compromised its Catholic identity by teaching its students that the repudiation of Catholic morality, far from being a cause for censure, is something to be respected, admired and rewarded.
		It is understandably difficult for society to take seriously Catholic opposition to abortion when Catholic institutions regularly honor public figures who support laws which permit the killing of over one million pre-born children each year.
		For too many Catholic colleges and universities, Catholic moral and religious teaching, the propagation of which was the reason for the foundation for these institutions, has been sacrificed to the prestige, publicity and fundraising opportunities afforded by showcasing celebrities and public officeholders.
