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. No atheist has to say the Pledge, or utter the dreaded words, "under God"—it is optional—but that is not enough: they want to stop others from [...]
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. He's got to have a stock of jokes ripping on Muslim gals, but again we've never heard any of them. But when it comes to Catholic girls, we know what Meyers [...]

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 [...]
Bill Donohue comments on the disposition of a case against Fr. Michael O'Connell, a Chicago-area priest who was accused of abusing a minor: Someday an authoritative book will be written about all the priests who have been falsely accused, dragged through the mud, and had their reputations smeared by hate-filled accusers and vindictive lawyers. But I [...]
Bill Donohue comments on the latest developments in the Catholic League's boycott of Guinness: We have amassed over 7,000 email addresses from the Knights of Columbus, constituting over 1,500 councils across all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Bill Donohue comments on the controversy over allegations that Jesus was married: In 2012, Karen L. King presented a small piece of papyrus with an inscription that indicated Jesus had a wife: "Jesus said to them, 'My wife....'" She was ecstatic, as were many in the media.
