He was more than a remarkable comedian; he was a strong foe of anti-Catholicism. I worked with him for many years fighting this plague. On April 20, 2005, journalist Don Feder launched a new organization, Jews Against Anti-Christian Defamation. He did so by holding a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
