\nan article<\/a> about Catholics in opposition to Rudy Giuliani.<\/p>\n

…A separate effort from another group of Catholic activists—to
\noperate under the admirably straightforward title of Catholics Against Rudy—will
\nalso take aim at Mr. Giuliani’s record on social issues. It’s the
\nbrainchild of Georgia lawyer Steve Dillard, best known as the formerly anonymous
\nvoice of Southern Appeal, a conservative Catholic legal blog that drew a wide-ranging,
\nfiercely loyal audience until Mr. Dillard outed himself and subsequently retired
\nthe site five months ago.<\/p>\n

Mr. Dillard, along with other bloggers, commentators and activists
\nwho are planning to participate in the effort, are modeling their project on
\nthe headline-grabbing Catholics Against Kerry site that targeted the Democratic
\nnominee three years ago. (Organizers say that none of the individuals involved
\nin that operation are principals in the new effort.)<\/p>\n

“It’s not a vast right-wing conspiracy,” said
\nMr. Dillard, “but if you’re active on these issues, you build up
\nnetworks of people who share your concerns, who are very involved, and who have
\nvery significant followings. These aren’t just ‘likely voters’—these
\nare very serious, die-hard activists. And they all have readers and supporters.”<\/p>\n

Visitors to the new site, he said, will find themselves at a one-stop
\nshop of anti-Rudy messaging, material and merchandise, including anti-Rudy bumper
\nstickers, T-shirts and other assorted items. (They will be sold at cost to avoid
\nany kind of potential profit—and the F.E.C. scrutiny that would undoubtedly
\nbring.)<\/p>\n

The website catholicsagainstrudy.com will be up sometime after July 1st.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
