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 [...]
Bill Donohue The University of Notre Dame is not only one of America’s best institutions of higher education, it is also seen, for the most part, as an authentically Catholic institution. That is why it was so disconcerting to read that a professor, Susan Ostermann, was named director of the Liu Institute for Asia and Asian [...]
Bill Donohue Houses of worship need enhanced protection these days from anti-religious bigots. In recent times, virtually every major religion has had some of their houses of worship vandalized or invaded. Moreover, congregants have been subjected to taunts and threats. At stake is the First Amendment right to freely practice our religion. While this is a [...]
Bill Donohue They really are different. They are not like the rest of us. A recent Gallup poll sheds some light on this phenomenon. In 2012, only 3.5 percent of Americans identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or something else (they must be the + people). Today the figure is 9 percent. Most of these people, [...]
Kyle Nazareth In January, Texas and Florida took bold steps that could reshape legal education nationwide by ending the American Bar Association’s (ABA) role as the sole gatekeeper for bar admission. These decisions mark the beginning of the end for the ABA’s monopoly and expose a deeper problem: the organization’s accreditation standards, particularly its aggressive push [...]
Bill Donohue Major media outlets, with rare exception, are engaged in a massive cover-up of the identity of transgender shooters in Canada and Rhode Island. They don’t want the public to conclude the obvious: those who falsely claim to be of the opposite sex are mentally impaired and a disproportionate number are increasingly violent. What happened [...]
