After Pope Francis and President Biden met recently, President Biden said that the pope called him a "good Catholic" and that he should "keep receiving communion." The Vatican has not confirmed the veracity of Biden's account. Like everyone else, we at the Catholic League have no way of knowing whether Biden's remarks are accurate. But from [...]
Los Angeles Archbishop José Gomez is under attack by left-wing Catholics and outside activists for his stellar speech given in Spain on November 4th. They are particularly angered over his comments on contemporary social justice movements, which he properly labeled as "pseudo-religions." The petition portrays Gomez as being somehow indifferent to racial injustice. That is a [...]
Many Catholics were dismayed, if not furious, when they learned of news reports indicating that Pope Francis told President Biden on October 29 that he was "a good Catholic" and "should keep receiving Communion."

In Dave Chappelle's Netflix special "The Closer" he says "Gender is a fact. Every human being in this room, every human being on earth, had to pass through the legs of a woman to be on earth. That is a fact." Chappelle is twice wrong, but that should not distract us from what he meant. [What [...]

Indeed, it is possible to construct two different sets of questions for the same respondents on the same subject and generate two different outcomes. For instance, if the goal is to show how tolerant liberals are of diversity in education, it makes sense [...]
The IRS has guidelines that tax-exempt organizations must follow regarding electoral politics. While those who work in the non-profit sector may address the issues, they are forbidden from endorsing candidates for public office. No matter, Vice President Kamala Harris showed her contempt for these norms during the run-up to the November elections. She had videotaped a [...]
In a study recently published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, six researchers from four universities concluded that there is no evidence to support the idea that LGBT progress comes at the expense of increasing bias against Christians.

[Note: This article contains graphic language.] According to the organizers of this year's Women's March on Washington, there is nothing dangerous, scary or harmful about a pregnant woman inserting a wire hanger into her vagina to kill her child.

"The Administration strongly supports House passage of H.R. 3755, the Women's Health Protection Act of 2021." That is the statement released by the White House on September 20.
