(CNsNews.com) - The leader of the Catholic League on Thursday urged more than 200 religious organizations to join his group in refusing to buy products from the Miller Brewing Company because of the company's sponsorship of the Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco this weekend.
"Never have we experienced greater corporate arrogance than in this dispute with the Miller Brewing Company," said Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, in a news release on Thursday.
"This all started when we learned that Miller was sponsoring an event that featured an obscene ad thrashing the Last Supper," Donohue said. "After being pressured, Miller offered a lame statement of regret and said it was pulling its logo from the ad."

(CNsNews.com) - The leader of the Catholic League on Thursday urged more than 200 religious organizations to join his group in refusing to buy products from the Miller Brewing Company because of the company's sponsorship of the Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco this weekend.
"Never have we experienced greater corporate arrogance than in this dispute with the Miller Brewing Company," said Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, in a news release on Thursday.
"This all started when we learned that Miller was sponsoring an event that featured an obscene ad thrashing the Last Supper," Donohue said. "After being pressured, Miller offered a lame statement of regret and said it was pulling its logo from the ad."
Donohue called the Folsom Street Fair an "incredibly outrageous and palpably anti-Christian event."
Miller Brewing told Cybercast News Service on Tuesday that although it has supported the Folsom Street Fair for several years, "we take exception to the poster the organizing committee developed this year. We understand some individuals may find the imagery offensive, and we have asked the organizers to remove our logo from the poster effective immediately."
But the Catholic League says Miller's logo is still posted on the website of the street fair. "Miller refuses to withdraw its sponsorship," Donohue said Thursday.
"To top it off, when we informed them that some of the money being raised at this festival was being funneled to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, they were unimpressed."
The Catholic League president described the Sisters as "an anti-Catholic group" that is holding a mock Last Supper dinner Thursday night in San Francisco. The group is not an actual church order but is instead a group of homosexuals who dress as nuns and use names such as "Sister Hysterectoria" while taking part in events that "promulgate universal joy and expiate stigmatic guilt."
"Accordingly, Miller leaves us with no options," Donohue said. "We are calling on more than 200 Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist and Hindu organizations to join with us in a nationwide boycott of Miller beer.
"We feel confident that once our religious allies kick in, and once the public sees the photos of an event Miller is proudly supporting, the Milwaukee brewery will come to its senses and pull its sponsorship altogether," he added. "If it doesn't, the only winners will be Anheuser Busch and Coors."
The Human Rights Campaign, a homosexual advocacy group, gives Miller Brewing a 90 percent score on HRC's latest annual Corporate Equality Index, which measures how accommodating a company's policy is to its homosexual employees.
