Transgender Day of Visibility is an international event that is held every year on March 31. This year it fell on Easter Sunday. Left-wing government officials, led by President Biden and his administration, along with left-wing LGBT activists, led by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), called attention to the heroics of transgender persons. They should instead [...]
Militant secularists would like to erase our religious heritage, but they are clearly in over their heads. Our nation's Capitol abounds with Judeo-Christian iconography, so much so that it overwhelms attempts to cancel it. • The dome of the U.S. Capitol was inspired by the dome of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, as well as St. [...]
A new poll on LGBT rights was published in March by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI), a left-wing outfit with a reputation for crafting politically skewed surveys. Its most prominent researcher, sociologist Robert P. Jones, is well known for demonizing so-called Christian nationalists. PRRI recently released its 2023 American Values Atlas report, "Views On LGBTQ [...]
Is it a good thing, or a bad thing, for a free society to have a vibrant role for religion? The Founders, not all of whom were practicing Christians, were unanimous in their conviction: the public role of religion is indispensable to the crafting of a free society.

Christopher Durang died on April 2nd. In its obituary on the homosexual anti-Catholic playwright, the New York Times predictably treated him with admiration, saying he had an "impish wit." The most anti-Catholic, and celebrated, play that Durang ever wrote was "Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All for You." The Times obit branded it "an absurdist lacerating [...]

The problem is transgenderism, the pernicious ideology that maintains that there are more than two sexes and that they are interchangeable. This [...]
Is Ireland witnessing an epiphany, or was the recent pro-family vote an anomaly? On March 8, Irish voters overwhelmingly voted "No" on two initiatives that could have changed the country's Constitution. The first would have redefined "family" as either "founded on marriage or on other durable relationships." It was rejected by 68 percent of the voters. [...]
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 [...]
Fr. D. Paul Sullins For years, as a faithful Catholic social scientist, I have experienced embedded, irrational opposition to the expression in scientific settings of evidence and truths that support the Catholic faith or the natural law. Like today's often-noted two-tier system of justice, more permissive for progressives and more rigorous for conservatives, there are two [...]
March 12 was Detransition Awareness Day, the most important LGBT day of the year. Those who are responsible for transgenderism, the pernicious ideology that holds that the sexes are not binary and are interchangeable, will never call attention to this day, and that is because it seriously undercuts their crusade. But we at the Catholic League [...]
