MAUREEN DOWD LACKS GUTS
April 23, 2014

MAKING GOD ILLEGAL
April 22, 2014
Bill Donohue comments on criminalizing God in the public schools: Militant atheists have a new goal: they object to students hearing the name of God in the Pledge of Allegiance.

SETH MEYERS’ CATHOLIC FIXATION
April 22, 2014
Bill Donohue comments on Seth Meyers’ latest crack about Catholics: Seth Meyers must know some good jokes about Jewish girls, though we haven’t heard any.

CONAN HITS BELOW THE BELT
April 17, 2014
Bill Donohue comments on Conan O’Brien: On April 14, Conan O’Brien made fun of Pope Francis. On April 15, he made fun of Jesus. We said nothing about these two jokes because they were not insulting, and we are not in the business of criticizing comedians when they take light-hearted jabs at our religion. But last night was different. In... [Read more...]

Bill Donohue comments on New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s plan to ban carriage horses from the streets of New York: It is not easy to unite the editorial boards of the New York Times, New York Post, Daily News, the labor unions, and the public (64 percent want to keep the carriage horses), but Mayor Bill de Blasio has done it: all oppose his...

Bill Donohue comments on the disposition of a case against Fr.
