EXPOSING CATHOLIC WHISTLEBLOWERS

Bill Donohue comments on reports of a new Catholic group: There was a time when we needed a group called Catholic Whistleblowers, but this assembly is a little too late: they missed the boat by a half-century.

TWIN PHILLY SCANDALS

Bill Donohue issued the following remarks today: There are two scandals going on in Philadelphia, and both involve injustices done to the Catholic Church. One is legal, and the other is journalistic.

IRS TARGETED CATHOLIC LEAGUE

BOWIE’S “JESUS” VIDEO IS A MESS

Bill Donohue comments on David Bowie’s video that accompanies his song, “The Next Day”: David Bowie is back, but hopefully not for long.

The video... [Read more...]
