President George W. Bush’s support for faith-based programs drew a strong endorsement today from Catholic League president William Donohue.  Here is the text of his remarks: “Faith-based social service programs work.  The empirical evidence is so overwhelming that there really isn’t anything to debate.  Consider, for example, the following. “Teen Challenge is a church-sponsored rehabilitation program [...]

At a news conference yesterday, James Hormel contended that Senator John Ashcroft opposed his confirmation as ambassador to Luxembourg “solely because I am a gay man.”  Senator Ashcroft has denied this was the reason he opposed the Hormel appointment.  The Catholic League, which led the opposition to the Hormel appointment at the time, believes that Hormel’s [...]

CULTURE WAR ON CHRISTMAS GOES BESERK

Every Christmas season is a busy time for the Catholic League, but this past Christmas broke the record. Radical secularists across the nation went berserk trying to stamp out the religious significance of the holiday. Our response was equally unyielding. Just as December began, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) wasted no time issuing a pamphlet, "The December [...]

DISHONEST DEBATE OVER DIVERSITY

By |2017-03-20T17:57:11-04:00January 23rd, 2001|Categories: Catalyst, From The President's Desk|Tags: |

William A. Donohue There is not a school or corporation that doesn’t mouth the mantra of diversity, whether it be in the form of a classroom discussion on multiculturalism or a diversity seminar for employees. What is particularly bothersome about this enterprise is the rank intellectual dishonesty that colors it. In the language of multiculturalism, diversity [...]

OBSCENE ATTACK ON CHRISTMAS

This past Christmas season, a store in Berkeley, California sold T-shirts that said "F--- Christmas"; the shirt bared the full name of the obscenity. When William Donohue learned of this he personally called the store, Bear Basics, and asked a series of questions. What he discovered was interesting, to say the least. The manager of Bear [...]

MORE LIES

Some of those who hate the Catholic Church willfully distort the facts to make their point. Some simply lie. Kit Greenberg fits the latter category. Ms. Greenberg was quoted in the San Jose Mercury News as saying that the Catholic Church teaches that "AIDS and HIV are God’s curses on people who behave inappropriately." William Donohue wrote to [...]

Think you’ve heard it all? Here’s a new one. On December 8, the Wall Street Journal ran a front-page story on how few women in Mexico use tampons. Two percent, to be exact. In Italy, the figure isn’t much better, registering a measly four-percent. Now what do Mexico and Italy have in common? You guessed it—Catholicism. "The Roman [...]
