Bill Donohue Is diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) a good thing or a bad thing? We have been told by its supporters that it is a good thing, but now that it is being used against Kamala Harris, it is now a bad thing. MSNBC commentator Joy Reid says, “DEI is actually a good thing,” but [...]
Bill Donohue In assessing her candidacy for president of the United States, it is instructive to consider the positions taken by Vice President Kamala Harris on several issues of interest to Catholics. She is a passionate defender of abortion rights. Indeed, there is no record of her opposing abortion at any time during gestation or for [...]
Bill Donohue It didn’t take long. J.D. Vance, Donald Trump’s pick to be his vice president, is a convert to Catholicism, and already that is a source of anger among the haters. He is being dubbed an “integralist” and a “Christian nationalist.” Our interest has less to do with Vance than it does the nature of [...]
Bill Donohue The media are so fixated on finding a political motive that explains why Thomas Matthew Crooks tried to assassinate Donald Trump that they are overlooking other factors. There are psychological and cultural variables that are vastly more important. Crooks was a registered Republican who made a small donation to a left-wing group when Biden [...]
Bill Donohue The Catholic League is running radio ads during the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee; they started July 14 and will run through July 19 (we will do likewise next month when the Democrats meet in Chicago). The ads are running on WLS 890 AM. It is based in Chicago and has one of the [...]
Bill Donohue What happened in Butler, Pennsylvania is emblematic of our culture of comfortableness. We are a nation that lacks accountability for misconduct and incompetence, the net result of which is a growing pattern of serious social problems. It is institutionally ubiquitous. From “soft on crime” initiatives to nearly non-existent student disciplinary measures—to weak performance standards [...]
Bill Donohue When I did the chapter on transgenderism for my new book, Cultural Meltdown, I was struck by the fact that blacks are the least likely to believe in the fiction that the sexes are interchangeable. The biggest dopes are white people. Not just any white persons—those with post-graduate degrees are the dumbest. Why are [...]
Bill Donohue Harvard University’s decision to officially refrain from taking public policy positions is not only commendable, it is a model for virtually every institution of higher learning. Indeed, it should be adopted by every entity not specifically founded as an advocacy organization. This would include corporations as well as umbrella groups representing such professionals as [...]
Bill Donohue Moral relativism is the belief that there are no moral absolutes and that right and wrong vary from one individual to another. Accordingly, disagreements about morality are nothing more than expressions of opinion. This may sound appealing to some, but in practice it is one of the most dangerous ideas ever entertained by man. [...]
Bill Donohue Not a Fourth of July goes by without some sage telling us how slavery is as American as apple pie. They have no idea what they are talking about. As Harvard sociologist Orlando Paterson has shown, there is not a place on the globe that has not known slavery. Aristotle thought it was so [...]
