Michael Eisner, the chairman of Disney, received an unexpected gift from the Catholic League during the holiday season: he was mailed thousands of petitions protesting the Disney-Miramax movie “Priest.” Upwards of 100,000 persons signed the petition, letting Mr. Eisner know exactly what they thought of his foray into Catholic bashing.
Because of the bad publicity that the Catholic League helped to generate for Disney, and because the movie was a flop at the box office, we do not expect to be greeted with “Priest II” anytime too soon.
