Bill Donohue There is nothing phobic about disliking someone, unless it is wholly irrational. For example, lots of people dislike New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and with good reason: they find his policies to be downright inane, even dangerous. Yet he and his supporters never stop accusing his critics of “Islamophobia.” A phobia is an [...]
Bill Donohue Last April, I wrote a scathing review of a book that smeared the Catholic Church, and Opus Dei, in particular. The following letter to the pope explains why I felt compelled to write to him. March 18, 2026 Secretariat of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV 00120 Vatican City Your Holiness: Your service to the [...]
Bill Donohue New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani made an 11th-hour decision to march in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, an event he previously eschewed for political reasons. But he couldn’t resist bringing his politics to bear at a breakfast he hosted at Gracie Mansion, kicking off the St. Patrick’s Day festivities. Mamdani’s obsession with demonizing [...]
Bill Donohue [Note: We run this article each year in honor of St. Patrick] The heroics of St. Patrick are not appreciated as much as they should be. He is the first person in history to publicly condemn slavery, and one of the first leaders to champion the cause of equal rights. There is much to [...]
Bill Donohue New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has not confirmed marching in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. That’s to be expected given the way he treats Catholics.

Bill Donohue Sameerah Munshi has quit President Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission. She cited “two deeply troubling developments: the official removal of Carrie Prejean Boller for her deeply held beliefs about Palestine and the federal government’s illegal war against Iran, undertaken without clear constitutional or congressional authorization.” The Council on American-Islamic Relations, (CAIR), rushed to defend both [...]
Bill Donohue highly recommends an article by Fr. Wilson D. Miscamble written in First Things on former University of Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz and his devotion to his Catholic faith. To read it, click here.
Bill Donohue Rhode Island is the latest state to demonstrate its selective interest in combatting the sexual abuse of minors. It is only interested in probing the Catholic clergy, having zero interest in probing the clergy in every other religion. Furthermore, it has no interest in investigating the on-going crisis in the public schools. Therapists, coaches, [...]
Bill Donohue Eleven years after the first gay group marched in New York City’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade, pro-life Catholics are still not allowed to march. The elites who run the parade are once again showing how little respect they have for the parade’s origins, which are rooted in Catholicism. From 1762 to today, no homosexuals [...]
Bill Donohue The Catholic League supports the accommodation of religion, whether it be in public or private venues. But we find it bizarre, if not troubling, when venues not known to accommodate religious expression decide to do so by singling out one religion. This is what the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City has [...]
