By William A. Donohue This article first appeared in the January 1995 issue of Crisis magazine. It is reprinted here with permission. Recently, when someone from the White House called to defend the Clinton administration on the charge of anti-Catholicism, I waited to hear something persuasive. But as I will reveal, nothing he said proved very convincing. [...]
By William A. Donohue Newt Gingrich knows how to get people's attention. Even before he became Speaker of the House, Congressman Gingrich was upsetting the status quo by recommending such heresies as a school prayer amendment. It didn't take long before reporters were calling the Catholic League asking for our comments. Many were surprised by our [...]
by K. D. Whitehead American Catholics can only reflect with deep shame on the role their government played in the preparation for and participation in the recent UN International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo. The Cairo conference itself surely represented some kind of moral low point in the modem world's relentless slide into official immorality [...]
On Sunday, September 25, Catholic League president Dr. William A. Donohue delivered the keynote address at the Red Mass Luncheon. The event, which took place at the New York Hilton, was preceded by the Red Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral; Cardinal O 'Connor was the celebrant. The Red Mass is the annual Mass that recognizes the [...]
By William A.Donohue The Cairo Conference on Population and Development will mostly be remembered for what the Holy See did: it held the line against the determined modernists from the U.S. and Western Europe. It's been some time since the Vatican asserted itself so boldly, surprising friend and foe alike. While it may be a bit [...]
By Rabbi Daniel Lapin I believe that there is only one fundamental set of principles on which to base a functioning society, that the forces which accept these principles will often be tragically divided with regard to methods, priorities, etc., and that the forces which reject the fundamental principles will be united by their rejection. In [...]
September marks the month of the International Conference on Population and Development, otherwise known as the Cairo Conference. Regrettably, events leading up to the Conference have already exposed a virulent strain of anti-Catholicism (see the June Catalyst), and it is therefore unlikely that the Cairo proceedings will close without additional incidents of Catholic-bashing. This is particularly [...]
It is no secret that much of the hatred of the Catholic Church these days emanates from radical feminists and those sympathetic to the feminist movement. The push for women's ordination and the passion to expand abortion rights are two of the most important forces driving anti-Catholic sentiment in the 1990s. Unfortunately, a fair amount of [...]
the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights & the Society of Catholic Social Scientists By Dr. Joseph A. Varacalli Former V.P. Dan Quayle calls it the "cultural elite." Theologian Richard Neuhaus refers to it as a modern day form of "gnosticism." Sociologist Peter Berger terms it the "new class." Adapting Berger's phrase to the radical [...]
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the happiest of them all? Not the intellectuals, that's for sure. Indeed, they're probably the most miserable. But more on that later. Certainly among the happiest are those who have happy marriages, and there is little doubt that, by and large, the happily married are those who take their [...]
