The president of a Catholic civil rights organization on Feb. 22 released a scathing rebuke of the so-called Equality Act introduced by Democrats, saying it promotes “the most comprehensive assault on Christianity ever written into law.”

Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, said in the release that the “patently anti-Christian” legislation would allow “gay rights to trump religious rights.”
