On July 22, an Interim Staff Report on President Biden's FBI Catholic spy ring was released by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan. Some of the new information is distressing. The FBI began its Catholic spy ring by focusing on "radical-traditionalist Catholics," but it didn't end there. Amazingly, according to the FBI’s own internal review of [...]
A young good-looking star, Sydney Sweeney, managed to set off a firestorm of criticism over the summer with an American Eagle ad. A video of the ad said, "Sydney Sweeney has great genes." She was shown crossing out "genes," inserting "jeans." She opined, "Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair [...]
The Catholic League welcomes the announcement that the IRS has altered its policy on non-profit organizations and their participation in political campaigns. We know from our own experience that the 1954 stricture, known as the Johnson Amendment, prohibiting 501 (c) (3) organizations from campaign activity, is both rife for mischief and impractical. But the changes will [...]
Young Muslim radicals running for mayor in big cities are the talk of the town in left-wing circles, and within the Democratic Party. Leftwing activists are thrilled by the news, but Democrats are split: some hope the two extremists win, but more moderate Democrats are afraid this will turn off most Americans, making it hard to [...]

It was due to a lawsuit filed by the Department of Justice that settled this issue. The Trump administration's lawyers filed suit in June, saying that Senate Bill 5375 violates the free exercise of religion for all [...]
There is a major component of President Trump’s signature spending bill, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” that is of keen interest to the Catholic League—the school choice provisions. The bill provides a full tax credit for Americans who donate to third-party scholarship granting organizations. These generous people will be eligible to take off $1,700 from [...]
Brooklyn Bishop Emeritus Nicholas DiMarzio has been sold out by the Archdiocese of Newark. The archdiocese has agreed to shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars to two men who accused the bishop of abuse, even though a twoyear Vatican investigation cleared him of all wrongdoing; he also passed a lie detector test. The Newark archdiocese, [...]
On July 21, when Bill Maher interviewed Billy Joel, the singer said that when he first sang, “Only the Good Die Young”—which had a snappy line about Catholic girls, he got some blowback. Maher responded, “I mean, I guess it—look I’ve had many letters from William Donohue, the head of the Catholic League. He literally challenged [...]
Georgetown University, which identifies as Catholic, has a Muslim problem. There is nothing new about this, but now that it is front and center, it can no longer be ignored.
