One day after the Catholic League asked its email subscribers to contact Sen. Dick Durbin to decline the "Lifetime Achievement Award" that he was scheduled to receive from the Archdiocese of Chicago, he did just that. The first person to raise a red flag over this issue was Thomas Paprocki, Bishop of the Diocese of Springfield. [...]
After many months of wrangling, the confessional seal remains intact in Washington state. State officials have given up their quest to force Catholic priests to divulge what they learn in the confessional. It took an array of organizations and specialists to exact this outcome. The Catholic League was the first lay Catholic group in the nation [...]
Charlie Kirk was assassinated because he was an outspoken Christian. This is undeniable. Yet the media continue to bury this fact. Of course he was a conservative Christian—those are the only Christians targeted by Christian haters. The suspected killer, Tyler Robinson, was also a sexually confused young man. It takes a very disturbed man to be [...]
On September 8, President Trump addressed the Presidential Commission on Religious Liberty, underscoring his commitment to combating anti-Christian bigotry. The task force he authorized to study this subject issued its initial report on anti-Christian bigotry on the same day (though it was dated June 6.) It covered many of the issues that the Catholic League has [...]
On July 22, an Interim Staff Report on President Biden's FBI Catholic spy ring was released by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan. Some of the new information is distressing. The FBI began its Catholic spy ring by focusing on "radical-traditionalist Catholics," but it didn't end there. Amazingly, according to the FBI’s own internal review of [...]

We have known for years about an anti-Catholic cell group in the FBI that was operative under President Biden. It spied on practicing Catholics, not just those who have been dubbed "radical-traditionalist Catholics" (RTCs). We now know, thanks to FBI Director Kash Patel, and Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, how widespread it was. Indeed, the extent [...]
A group of Christians recently held a pro-family rally in Seattle and were attacked by Antifa anarchists for doing so. This is exactly the kind of incident that President Trump's Commission on Religious Liberty needs to investigate. We contacted their lawyers, and they agreed to do so. On May 24, a Christian pro-family group, Mayday USA, [...]
On May 8, Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was elected by the voting Cardinals of the College of Cardinals to be the new pontiff. The Augustinian priest chose the name Pope Leo XIV. He is the first American pope— he was born in Chicago—though he is not well known to most American Catholics. That is partly because [...]
To some, June is Gay Pride Month, but to Catholics, and to traditionalists who belong to other religions, it is Fidelity Month.
