BOYS LIKE “BOOK OF MORMON

By |2013-01-17T17:37:16-05:00May 16th, 2011|Categories: Catalyst, Features|Tags: |

We recently commented on the way critics received the new Broadway musical from Trey Parker and Matt Stone, “The Book of Mormon.” When Parker and Stone die, the obit page should label them as talented yet cowardly artists. After all, as Terry Teachout said in the Wall Street Journal, it takes no guts to bash Mormons [...]

Dr. Steve Taylor, a Louisiana psychiatrist who has worked with the Survivors Network for those Abused by Priests (SNAP), was recently sentenced to two years in prison for possession of child pornography. When this news broke, we had no choice but to respond to it. How many more morally debased psychiatrists have worked or are working [...]

On the front page of the April 14 “Style” section of the New York Times an article was run about Dov Charney, the founder and CEO of American Apparel. What we learned about Charney in the article was shocking, but the reaction from the Times was all too predictable. After reading the article, Bill Donohue had [...]

SOUTH DAKOTA: MODEL FOR REDUCING ABORTIONS

By |2013-01-17T17:43:15-05:00May 16th, 2011|Categories: Catalyst, Features|Tags: |

For the past few years, the pro-abortion community has inexplicably said they support “abortion reduction” efforts (it is not clear why they would want to reduce the rates of a procedure they say is non-lethal). In any event, they should now be supporting what is going on in South Dakota (somehow, we believe they will side [...]

RELIGIOUS REALITY CHECK

By |2013-01-17T17:44:17-05:00May 16th, 2011|Categories: Catalyst, Features|Tags: |

We recently came across five news stories that we just had to address. After going through them, we decided that the time had come for a reality check. Bart Ehrman doesn’t believe in God, which is why he is just the right guy to teach religion at the University of North Carolina. It’s not as though [...]

LENO BARES THE TRUTH

By |2013-01-17T17:47:05-05:00May 16th, 2011|Categories: Catalyst, Features|Tags: |

We have maintained that the sex abuse scandal in the Church was not due to a pedophilia problem, rather the problem was homosexuality. Even comedians who viciously attack the Catholic Church on this matter know what the truth is. Jay Leno, for instance, has relentlessly attacked all priests as pedophiles, yet even he knows that homosexuality, [...]

Yesterday, Rep. Nancy Pelosi expressed her concerns about voting for Father Patrick Conroy, selected by House Speaker John Boehner to be the new House Chaplain. She cited the priest's association with the Oregon Province of the Society of Jesus, which has been the subject of sex abuse claims. The Catholic League criticized her objections yesterday.
