"Who really cares what Hollywood thinks? All these hacks come out there. Hollywood is controlled by secular Jews who hate Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular. It's not a secret, okay? And I'm not afraid to say it. [...] Hollywood likes anal sex. They like to see the public square without nativity scenes. I like families. I like children. They like abortions. I believe in traditional values and restraint. They believe in libertinism."
"Well, first they said [The Passion of the Christ] was anti-Semitic. That didn't work. Then they said it was too violent. That didn't work. Then they said it was S&M. That didn't work. Then they said it was pornography. That didn't work. Now they're saying it's fascistic queer-bashing. That kind of language would ordinarily get somebody taken away in a straitjacket and -- put you in the asylum. I don't know what about -- the queer-bashing is all about. I'm pretty good about picking out who queers are and I didn't see any in the movie. I'm usually pretty good at that."
During an interview on CNN (March 31, 2010), Donohue opined:
"I'm Irish. Everybody who has half a brain knows that the Irish have a bigger problem with alcoholism than the Italian and the Chinese, for example. Now, does that mean because you're an Irishman therefore you are driven to become an alcoholic? Of course not. What it means, though: if your group is overrepresented in a particular problem area, you ought to explore it. Yes, there's a connection between the Irish and alcoholism. And yes, there's a connection between homosexuality and sexual abuse of minors."
