Elementary Schools in New Jersey Contacted; Mother Teresa Campaign Continues

Contact: Jeff Field, Director of Communications, Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, 212-371-3191, catalyst@catholicleague.org

 

NEW YORK, June 7 /Standard Newswire/ -- Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on Day 18 of the protest campaign on behalf of Mother Teresa:

 

Today I am writing to every Catholic elementary school in the Archdiocese of Newark, the Diocese of Trenton, the Diocese of Paterson and the Diocese of Metuchen informing them of our protest demonstration on August 26 outside the Empire State Building on 34th Street and 5th Avenue.

 

The rally is being held to protest the decision of Anthony Malkin, the owner of the storied building, not to overrule those who have chosen to deny a tribute to Mother Teresa: our request to have the towers shine blue and white, the colors of her congregation, on August 26th, the 100th anniversary of her birthday, was denied without explanation. Yet the same persons who chose to stiff Mother Teresa decided to honor the Chinese Communist revolution last year, even though 77 million innocent men, women and children were murdered under Mao Zedong. By contrast, the U.S. Postal Service is honoring Mother Teresa with a commemorative stamp.

 

Everyone is being asked to pass the word about our demonstration and to join us that evening. They are also being asked to write to Anthony Malkin. His address is Malkin Properties, One Grand Central Place 60, E. 42nd St., NY, NY 10165.
