The Supreme Court of Wisconsin recently responded to the 2011 grievance filed by the Catholic League against attorney Rebekah M. Nett. We asked that she be investigated for making stridently anti-Catholic remarks against United States Bankruptcy Judge Nancy Dreher, and others. We are happy to report that she has lost her license for a year. The [...]
The Catholic League, which has marched in New York City's St. Patrick's Day Parade for 20 years, will not do so in 2015. Prior to the announcement that a gay group would march under its own banner in the 2015 parade, Bill Donohue was consulted by parade organizers about their plans. He told them that he [...]
California Governor Jerry Brown and his administration recently caved into requests from pro-abortion groups and reversed an earlier decision that allowed Santa Clara and Loyola Marymount universities to exclude coverage for "elective" abortions in their previously approved health insurance plans. Both schools are now being told to include coverage for all abortions. "Abortion is a basic [...]
The Middle East is coming apart as murderous Muslim madmen move from nation to nation killing everyone who does not accept their twisted beliefs. Christians, Jews, Kurds, the Yezidi—even Muslims who differ with them—are being slaughtered. Children are being beheaded, crucifixions are rampant, and monasteries are being ransacked, all in the name of Islam. In the [...]
Over the summer we learned that the Library of Congress had scheduled a presentation titled, "The Book and the Reformation," sponsored by the Rare Book and Special Collections Division.

The Catholic Church has been hammered incessantly, and shrill cries of maltreatment abound. Fresh off the heels of [...]
June 17 marked the three month anniversary of our boycott of Guinness. We did an online survey of pub owners in several cities, and the results were as follows: • 75 report a decrease in sales • 24 report no difference • 4 report an increase From what we have determined, it appears that the decrease [...]
On May 15, Bill Donohue lodged a formal complaint with Ms. Navanethem Pillay, High Commissioner for the Human Rights Office of the U.N. in Geneva, Switzerland. Donohue charged that Felice Gaer, Vice–Chairperson of the Committee Against Torture, has compromised her objectivity and thus has no legitimate role to play in policing the policies of U.N. member [...]
On May 7, the Catholic League protested a scheduled "Black Mass" on the campus of Harvard University; the Satanic event, which was designed to ridicule the Mass, was set for May 12. But it was cancelled just hours before it was to take place. The initial response from the university was wholly unsatisfactory, but on the [...]
As we reported last month, on the evening of March 16, the day before St. Patrick's Day, Guinness announced that it was pulling its sponsorship of New York's parade because gays were allegedly banned from marching. This 11th hour decision, which angered pub owners who had already stocked their bars with Guinness, was based on a [...]
