Bill Donohue What happens when an organization achieves its goal? It either folds or it develops a new one. The March of Dimes was founded to cure polio, and when the Salk vaccine proved effective, those who worked there could have declared victory and packed up their bags and left. But they didn’t. Instead, they chose [...]
Bill Donohue Here’s a thought experiment. There are two teachers. One is known for his compassion for struggling students, but he is not a gifted teacher, and as a result his students do poorly in school. The other is known as lacking in compassion, but he is a gifted teacher, and as a result his students [...]
Bill Donohue “In creating men ‘male and female,’ God gives man and woman an equal personal dignity.” That is what the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches. Pope Francis not only agreed with this fundamental Catholic tenet, he said that those who deny there are only two sexes, male and female, are fostering a false anthropology. [...]
Bill Donohue Fr. James Martin, the Jesuit champion of gay and transgender rights, has a column in today’s New York Times that is intellectually dishonest. I will be very specific. He cites the case of Sister Jeannine Gramick as testimony to Pope Francis’ outreach to “L.G.B.T.Q. people.” He notes that “Her saga began in 1999, during [...]
Bill Donohue The death of Pope Francis on Easter Monday caught many as a surprise, though not as a shock. He definitely rebounded from the time he was hospitalized, but he never regained his normal stature. His funeral on April 26 will draw media coverage from all over the world. After the funeral, the voting cardinals [...]

Bill Donohue Catholics around the globe are mourning the death of Pope Francis. He touched millions of the faithful, including non-Catholics and non-believers. When Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio assumed the role of Pope Francis, his down-to-earth style captured the plaudits of Catholics and non-Catholics alike. It was his unscripted, and often spontaneous, manner of speaking that made [...]
Bill Donohue Mention the word Easter and what comes to mind is redemption. Ultimately, it’s all about salvation. After the darkness of Good Friday comes the light of Easter. It’s also a time of hope, and this year the hope is that the early signs of a religious renaissance in the West come to fruition. New [...]
Columbia has a problem with Jewish and Catholic students. April 16, 2025 Ms. Claire Shipman Acting President Columbia University Office of the President 202 Low Library, 535 W. 116 St., MC 4309 New York, New York 10027 Dear Acting President Shipman: As president of the nation’s largest Catholic civil rights organization, I was disturbed to read [...]
Bill Donohue The difference between left-wing religious groups and left-wing secularist groups is miniscule. Both are more worried about bias against midgets than Christians, and that is not an exaggeration. In fact, when left-wing religious groups speak about anti-Christian bias, they can’t help but write about “so-called ‘anti-Christian bias.’” That’s exactly the way the Interfaith Alliance [...]
