Bill Donohue comments on critics who keep pushing for reforms within the Catholic Church that have been rejected: If I belonged to a socialist club in college, and later found myself drawn to libertarianism, I would jump ship. So why do Catholics who have long since rejected many of the Church's teachings stay, when they could [...]
Bill Donohue comments on an article in yesterday's Washington Post by columnist George Will; it is syndicated in other papers today: "He [the pope] stands against modernity, rationality, science and, ultimately...open societies."

Two groups—the Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF) and [...]
Bill Donohue comments on the Pope Francis that the media don't want the public to know: It's great that the media have finally found a pope that they like, but if they were sincere they would report on statements made by Pope Francis that don't quite fit the narrative they have spun about him. The teachings [...]
Bill Donohue comments on an op-ed in today's New York Times: "We can all recognize that abortion in many ways represents a sad, even tragic choice in many, many women."
