NEW CONVERTS TO THE WAR ON RELIGION?

By |2017-03-20T17:50:46-04:00January 29th, 2014|Categories: Latest News Releases|Tags: |

Bill Donohue comments on how so-called victims' advocates are participating in the war on religion: Freedom From Religion Foundation is an atheist organization. BishopAccountability.org and the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests monitor clergy sexual abuse.

ROLLING STONE LIKES THE POPE

By |2017-03-20T17:50:46-04:00January 28th, 2014|Categories: Latest News Releases|Tags: |

Bill Donohue comments on the Feb. 13th cover story in Rolling Stone: The lengthy piece by Mark Binelli on Pope Francis is respectful, though hardly without flaws. Like so many of the pope's new fans, Binelli's bouquets come at the price of exaggerating the Holy Father's uniqueness, and unfairly characterizing his predecessors. Binelli likes it that [...]

MSGR. LYNN FREED

Two days after Christmas, a Pennsylvania appeals court overturned the conviction of Philadelphia Monsignor William Lynn; he was later released on bail. Msgr. Lynn should never have been prosecuted in the first place: he was charged ex post facto; a 2007 amendment to the 1972 Pennsylvania child endangerment statute had no application to him. The guilty [...]

William A. Donohue For many decades, Steven Wise has been promoting the rights of apes. To be specific, he would like to see chimpanzees awarded "legal personhood."

The following article by Bill Donohue was published by Newsmax on November 27: Pope Francis has an uncanny ability to excite the passions of the left and the right; he has done so again in his apostolic exhortation, "The Joy of the Gospel." The pope begins by outlining his principal interest, evangelization, calling on us to [...]
