William A. Donohue When I did the chapter on transgenderism for my upcoming book, Cultural Meltdown, I was struck by the fact that blacks are the least likely to believe in the fiction that the sexes are interchangeable. The biggest dopes are white people. Not just any white persons—those with post-graduate degrees are the dumbest. Why [...]
It was the day after Ronald Reagan beat Jimmy Carter in the 1980 presidential election. I was smiling (I had run Reagan's campaign in the North Hills of Pittsburgh), but most of the other professors at La Roche College (now a university) were sulking, and many appeared depressed. However, their mood was not uncharacteristic of the [...]
William A. Donohue In my years dealing with the media, government officials, educators, activists, business people, lawyers, artists, and others, I have met my share of bigoted persons. This is not surprising given the nature of my job. Unfortunately, many of these people are also dishonest. When bigotry and dishonesty are mixed together, it's a bad [...]
William A. Donohue Most Americans want abortion legal but restricted. Most but not all. There are some who favor abortion unlimited—for any reason and at time of gestation. The media will tell you this isn't true. They're lying. Last September, Vice President Kamala Harris was interviewed on "Face the Nation" by Margaret Brennan. Brennan made the [...]
William A. Donohue The FBI spy operation on Catholics has nothing to do with dissident Catholics—the focus is 100 percent on those Catholics who are "pro-life," "pro-family," and who "support the biological basis for sex and gender distinction." These practicing Catholics are labeled "domestic terrorists." The use of the present tense is purposeful: the FBI, according [...]
William A. Donohue Almost all Americans (9 in 10) celebrate Christmas, and the majority (7 in 10) are Christian. So it should not be controversial to celebrate a holiday that is central to our country's history. But it is. We've been involved in the Christmas wars for many years. From my perspective, it reached a crescendo [...]
William A. Donohue On October 17, Pope Francis welcomed Catholic dissidents who have previously been condemned by U.S. cardinals and bishops. He met for almost an hour with Sister Jeannine Gramick, who, along with Fr. Robert Nugent, founded New Ways Ministry (NWM) in 1977; it is a radical pro-homosexual group. She was wearing a habit for [...]
William A. Donohue The United States is the richest and most powerful nation on earth. New York City is largely regarded as the number-one international city. The New York Yankees have the most World Series wins and the richest history of any major league team. The Catholic Church is seen as the most influential religious body [...]
William A. Donohue This article originally appeared in The American Spectator on July 3, 2023. It was just a matter of time. Decent Americans have had a radical race and LGBT agenda shoved in their face for too long, and now they are fighting back. Too bad not all conservatives are on board. Former congressman Paul [...]
William A. Donohue July 1 marked my 30th year as president and CEO of the Catholic League. Bernadette Brady-Egan, our vice president, celebrated her 28th anniversary on the same day. We've had a good run, and we're not done. One reason for not retiring is the state of our country. Never have I seen our country [...]
