Bill Donohue As a sociologist and a Catholic advocate, I am quite interested in the left-wing accusation that Christian nationalists are a violent-ridden threat to America.

Bill Donohue In 1952, Congress designated the first Thursday in May as the National Day of Prayer; this year it fell on May 2.

Fr. D. Paul Sullins For years, as a faithful Catholic social scientist, I have experienced embedded, irrational opposition to the expression in scientific settings of evidence and truths that support the Catholic faith or the natural law.
