WHY ISN’T ABORTION “MORAL”?

By |2019-09-20T15:06:41-04:00January 18th, 2012|Categories: Latest News Releases|Tags: |

Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on Dana Milbank’s column on abortion in today’s Washington Post: It’s an old tactic—attacking the advocates of both sides of a contentious issue. In doing so, the pundit attempts to seize the mantle of objectivity. But it often doesn’t work, and it certainly didn’t work for Dana Milbank. Milbank takes [...]

For the past few years, it has become increasingly evident that the foes of Christmas are on the run. Not that the War on Christmas is over—it is not—but it is clear that our side is pushing back with vigor. When Wisconsin decided to revert back to calling the Christmas tree in the Capitol Rotunda a [...]

DISBAR THEM BOTH

In December, the Catholic League filed two complaints against two attorneys for their incredibly anti-Catholic remarks. While we’ve learned of anti-Catholic comments made in court before, never have we witnessed anything like this. On November 25, in a legal memorandum filed in the Bankruptcy Court in Minnesota, lawyer Rebekah Nett called U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Nancy Dreher [...]

By |2017-03-20T17:52:29-04:00January 18th, 2012|Categories: Catalyst, From The President's Desk|Tags: |

FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK  William Donohue It does not matter how strongly a person may champion abortion rights, there are some stubborn facts that cannot be denied. It is their side—the pro-abortion side—that must tippy toe through a linguistic minefield. Our side never has to be careful, and that’s because we don’t have to lie. If [...]

“ADOPT AN ATHEIST” CAMPAIGN BEGINS

By |2012-12-21T19:31:06-05:00January 18th, 2012|Categories: Catalyst, Features|Tags: |

Approximately 80 percent of Americans are Christian, and 96 percent celebrate Christmas. Of the 20 percent who are not Christian, non-believers make up the largest segment, though the number of self-identified atheists is tiny. David Silverman, president of American Atheists, knows this to be true, which is why he is frantically trying to inflate his base. [...]

“WAR ON CHRISTMAS” TACTICS VARY

By |2012-12-21T19:32:22-05:00January 18th, 2012|Categories: Catalyst, Features|Tags: |

“If we can’t censor, then compete.” That’s the preferred modus operandi of many atheists out to smash Christmas. Their first instinct is to ban nativity scenes wherever they can. If that doesn’t work, then they lay claim to the same spot, seeking to display their anti-Christmas message. The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) is the most [...]

In December, North Korea put South Korea on notice, warning of “unexpected consequences” if Seoul displays Christmas lights near the border. Also in December, Chinese government officials and police smashed the sound equipment of Christians who were about to celebrate Christmas in a village outside Beijing. Our atheists share the same mindset, if not the same [...]

“HOLIDAY TREES” ARE DIVISIVE

By |2012-12-21T19:33:55-05:00January 18th, 2012|Categories: Catalyst, Features|Tags: |

In Wisconsin, for the first time in years, they reverted back to calling the Capitol Rotunda Christmas tree a Christmas tree: it was called a Christmas tree for 70 years until it was renamed a Holiday tree in the mid-1980s. In Rhode Island, Governor Lincoln Chafee decided to continue the politics of intolerance by calling the [...]

PRO-CHRISTMAS FOLKS PUSH BACK

For the past few years, there have been two new developments in the War on Christmas: the good news is that more people are pushing back in villages and municipalities across the nation, demanding that Christmas celebrations proceed as planned; the bad news is that militant atheists are more aggressive than ever. Overall, however, there is [...]
