Bill Donohue The Taliban are known as among the world’s most brutal terrorists, yet they exhibited more humanity at the end of Ramadan than New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill. On March 20, the last day of Ramadan, the Taliban released an American, Dennis Coyle, whom they had imprisoned for [...]
Bill Donohue When Jews and Protestants are being considered for a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court, they are rarely, if ever, asked by legislators to explain how their religious convictions might affect their legal thinking. The same is not true of Catholic nominees: their faith often becomes center stage at the hearings. Sometimes it gets [...]
Bill Donohue We are asking New York State Attorney General Letitia James and New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg to investigate an apparent cover-up of sexual abuse that took place at Columbia University and New York-Presbyterian Hospital.

But he couldn’t resist bringing his politics to bear at a breakfast he hosted at Gracie Mansion, kicking off the St. Patrick’s Day festivities. Mamdani’s obsession with demonizing [...]
Bill Donohue [Note: We run this article each year in honor of St. Patrick] The heroics of St. Patrick are not appreciated as much as they should be. He is the first person in history to publicly condemn slavery, and one of the first leaders to champion the cause of equal rights. There is much to [...]
Bill Donohue New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has not confirmed marching in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. That’s to be expected given the way he treats Catholics. He had clergy from many religions at his inauguration, but never invited Cardinal Timothy Dolan or any other priest. He had clergy from many religions at his February [...]
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.
