MARTHA COAKLEY TRASHES RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

By |2012-10-11T19:40:00-04:00January 15th, 2010|Categories: Latest News Releases|Tags: |

Catholic League president Bill Donohue responds to what Massachusetts senatorial hopeful Martha Coakley said last night in a WBSM interview: When Martha Coakley, a Roman Catholic, was asked whether she supports conscience rights for health care employees, she offered a resounding “NO.” So completely wedded to the extremists in the pro-abortion community, Coakley would not allow [...]

HOLLYWOOD GOES APOCALYPTIC

By |2012-10-11T19:40:02-04:00January 14th, 2010|Categories: Latest News Releases|Tags: |

Catholic League president Bill Donohue looks at Hollywood’s treatment of the apocalypse in “The Book of Eli” and “Legion”; the former opens January 15, and the latter a week later: By all accounts, “The Book of Eli” puts a positive spin on Christianity. The lead character, Eli, is played by Denzel Washington. Following a nuclear war [...]

CELEBRITY CRUISES STIFFS CATHOLICS

By |2012-10-11T19:40:04-04:00January 14th, 2010|Categories: Latest News Releases|Tags: |

Bill Donohue explains why the Catholic League is sharply critical of Celebrity Cruises: Ten days before Christmas, we learned that Celebrity Cruises had just announced that beginning in 2010, it would no longer have priests on board to celebrate daily and Sunday Masses. We immediately followed up by questioning the cruise line about its new policy. [...]

By |2013-02-07T21:16:53-05:00January 12th, 2010|Categories: Catalyst, Front Page|Tags: |

Just as the sun sets in the morning, we know that every December the anti-Christmas folks swing into high gear. And as evidenced by the articles in this issue of Catalyst, 2009 was no exception. Save, perhaps, for one thing: the tactics this time around were noted for their novelty. Nothing gained the Catholic League more [...]

TRILOGY SERIES NIXED

By |2013-02-07T21:19:56-05:00January 12th, 2010|Categories: Catalyst, Front Page|Tags: |

We previously reported in Catalyst that New Line Cinema has not shown much interest in making any more movie versions of Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy; his first book in the series, The Golden Compass, hit the big screen in 2007, and was the subject of a vigorous Catholic League protest. At the end of [...]

ABORTION NEWS IS MORE GOOD THAN BAD

By |2017-03-20T17:53:38-04:00January 12th, 2010|Categories: Catalyst, From The President's Desk|Tags: |

As we mark the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, there is good news and bad news on abortion. The good news is that more Americans identify with the pro-life message than ever before; the bad news is that their president and his administration do not. First the bad news. Barack Obama is not only the most [...]

PETA BARES CHRISTMAS CAMPAIGN

By |2017-03-20T17:53:38-04:00January 12th, 2010|Categories: Catalyst, Features|Tags: |

It would be hard to find an organization in the United States which treats animals more unethically than People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). In 2008, as demonstrated by the Center for Consumer Freedom, PETA killed 95 percent of the adoptable pets in its care. Indeed, it killed an average of six pets a [...]

CATHOLIC REPORTER UNJUSTLY FIRED IN MAINE

By |2017-03-20T17:53:38-04:00January 12th, 2010|Categories: Catalyst, Features|Tags: |

We recently came to the defense of Larry Grard, a former newspaper reporter for Maine’s Morning Sentinel, because of his recent termination. For almost two decades, Grard worked at the Morning Sentinel and was fired because he e-mailed a letter (using his own personal e-mail account) to the head of an advocacy group, much to the [...]

RAUNCHY CHRISTMAS PLAYS ABOUND

By |2013-02-07T21:24:10-05:00January 12th, 2010|Categories: Catalyst, Features|Tags: |

For whatever reason, there were more raunchy Christmas plays this year than ever before. Not surprisingly, many were gay-themed, most were confined to the east and west coasts, and all were loved by art critics. The plays ran the gamut from the irreverent to the extremely vulgar. New York City is a natural home for such [...]

ATHEISTS LAUNCH GRINCH CAMPAIGNS

By |2013-02-07T21:24:37-05:00January 12th, 2010|Categories: Catalyst, Features|Tags: |

The Christmas season is a lonely time of year for those who believe in nothing. Most, however, manage to get by without having to lash out at believers. But not the Freedom from Religion Foundation. In 2008, this group took its campaign to Olympia, Washington, and this past year, the religion haters took their show on [...]
