Following the February 22 episode of the NBC-TV sitcom, "Committed," we were hit with an avalanche of complaints.

It wasn't the worst we've seen, but it was still unnecessarily offensive. So we made a complaint to Hallmark and they decided to withdraw the birthday card for good. On the cover of the card was a sketch of a homely nun wearing a habit, saying, "I'm so excited about your birthday, I feel like doing [...]

By |2013-05-31T19:55:23-04:00|Categories: Catalyst, Front Page|Tags: |

Never before have more Christians fought back in an effort to reclaim Christmas. For example, in 2003, a Glenview, Illinois firehouse was told it could not display Christmas decorations. In 2004, they won approval. In 2003, an 8-year-old boy from Plano, Texas was forbidden from giving his friends candy canes in school. In 2004, he was [...]

This anecdote wouldn’t amount to much if it were just that—an anecdote. But as pages 4-7 of this issue demonstrate, it reflected [...]

By |2013-06-20T16:18:02-04:00|Categories: Catalyst, Front Page|Tags: |

The attempt by radical secularists to censor Christmas started early this year. They not only want to bar nativity scenes on public property, they want to shut down Christmas celebrations in the workplace. On November 10, in a legal newspaper out of San Francisco, The Recorder, two lawyers advised those who work in human resources to protect [...]
