If there were any doubt that the religious vision of sexuality, as represented by the pope, and the secular vision, as represented by Hollywood, were dissimilar, they were wiped away. On March 10, an Argentine daily newspaper, La Nación, published an interview that Pope Francis gave on the subject of transgenderism. "Gender ideology, today, is one [...]
Something sinister is going on, and it is not by coincidence. Within the course of one week, at the beginning of March, five states either heard testimony on a bill that would deny the priest-penitent privilege, or had bills of this nature introduced. Vermont heard testimony from Burlington Bishop Christopher Coyne. Delaware, Kansas, Utah and Washington [...]
The Archdiocese of Portland in Oregon, under the leadership of Archbishop Alexander K. Sample, has adopted a model policy on how to deal with transgender students. It is a model not just for Catholic schools, but for all schools, private and public. It is empathetic in its understanding of those suffering from gender dysphoria, yet firmly [...]
Most of the mainstream media is in the tank with pro-abortion activists, which explains their reluctance to accurately report on the seriousness of abortion complications. Yet any person who truly believes in the best interests of women should want all women to know what can happen to them when undergoing an abortion. Since they won't do [...]
No civilization has brought about more liberty and equality than western civilization, and that is due, in large part, to the contributions of Catholicism.

Detransitioners are [...]
New York City Mayor Eric Adams angered secularists recently when he spoke at an interfaith breakfast event. After his closest aide, Ingrid Lewis-Martin, introduced him as someone who "doesn't believe" in separation of church and state, her boss took the stage and said, "Ingrid is so right." "Don't tell me about no separation of church and [...]
On January 30, Bill Donohue sent a letter to Rep. Jim Jordan, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, asking for an investigation of Jane's Revenge, the violent anti-Catholic and pro-abortion terrorist group. He mentioned that he had previously asked U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to commence such a probe but never received a reply. We sent [...]
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg recently told Fox News host Brett Baier that his travel expenses were not inappropriate, especially given that other public officials have taken their spouses on official business trips. "Why is it any different when it's me and my husband?" Baier had no answer. Does Buttigieg really have a husband? Of course not. [...]
