Bill Donohue Sameerah Munshi has quit President Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission. She cited “two deeply troubling developments: the official removal of Carrie Prejean Boller for her deeply held beliefs about Palestine and the federal government’s illegal war against Iran, undertaken without clear constitutional or congressional authorization.” The Council on American-Islamic Relations, (CAIR), rushed to defend both [...]
Bill Donohue highly recommends an article by Fr. Wilson D. Miscamble written in First Things on former University of Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz and his devotion to his Catholic faith. To read it, click here.
Bill Donohue Rhode Island is the latest state to demonstrate its selective interest in combatting the sexual abuse of minors. It is only interested in probing the Catholic clergy, having zero interest in probing the clergy in every other religion. Furthermore, it has no interest in investigating the on-going crisis in the public schools. Therapists, coaches, [...]
Bill Donohue Eleven years after the first gay group marched in New York City’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade, pro-life Catholics are still not allowed to march. The elites who run the parade are once again showing how little respect they have for the parade’s origins, which are rooted in Catholicism. From 1762 to today, no homosexuals [...]
Bill Donohue The Catholic League supports the accommodation of religion, whether it be in public or private venues. But we find it bizarre, if not troubling, when venues not known to accommodate religious expression decide to do so by singling out one religion. This is what the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City has [...]
Bill Donohue A new Pew Research Center survey of 25 countries found Americans are “especially likely to view fellow citizens as morally bad.” Indeed, 53 percent of U.S. adults say Americans “have bad morals and ethics.” Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Much depends on the behavior being judged, as well as the [...]
Bill Donohue On March 1, Irish queers marched in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Sunnyside, Queens, and in doing so they made a mockery of the parade’s origins. Quite frankly, it’s really a gay parade, with an Irish veneer. The first St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Sunnyside was held in 2000. After being denied the [...]
Bill Donohue It is true that we can never truly know what is in another person’s heart, but when a politician makes his religion a central aspect of his public persona, yet pursues policies that inherently contradict his faith, it raises serious questions. The following Democrats are clearly guilty of playing the religion card when it [...]
Bill Donohue The invasion of Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota rightly triggered a visceral response on the part of people across religious communities. These Nazi-like tactics have also taken place in Catholic churches and Jewish synagogues. If there is one Catholic church that is singled out for protest, it is St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New [...]
Bill Donohue Many children enjoy testing adults, whether at home or in school; they like to see what they can get away with. If there are few consequences for acting out, it’s a sure bet they will continue. Adults are no different: when criminals are not held accountable—when they are caught and released—they have no reason [...]
