Bill Donohue comments on the September 10 cover story in Newsweek: To say the Catholic Church confounds Newsweek is an understatement: they just don't know what to make of it. The article begins by praising Pope Francis as a progressive, then goes on a lengthy rant against San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, only to finish with [...]
Bill Donohue comments on Madonna's latest mockery of the Catholic religion: Madonna ages, but she never changes. In Montreal last night to kick off her latest tour, she launched into the obscene lyrics from her song "Holy Water," ripped off her skirt to reveal a skimpy nun's habit, and started to pole dance.

Bill Donohue comments on a letter to Pope Francis from Congressional Democrats: Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), a rabidly pro-abortion Catholic, has sent a letter to Pope Francis — signed by 93 of her House Democratic colleagues — urging him to focus on certain topics when he addresses Congress Sept. 24. And they are not content to [...]

Bill Donohue comments on the Pew Research Center survey of Catholics released yesterday: In terms of methodological precision, the Pew Research Center has no rival. Its latest survey is no exception: it offers an in-depth picture of Catholics. But its decision to examine those who are no longer Catholic, or never were, is of questionable utility. [...]
