The all-out assault on Rep. Mike Johnson, the newly elected Speaker of the House, is about much more than his evangelical roots: the unrelenting attacks are meant to discourage younger Christian conservatives from running for office; they are also meant to discredit the Founders and our Judeo-Christian heritage. Michael Tomasky at the New Republic labels Johnson [...]
The anti-Christmas censors started early this year, both at home and abroad. Fortunately, they are off to a lousy start. City employees in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin were told not to put up Christmas decorations. They even banned the colors of red and green. But after a huge outcry and a threatened lawsuit, they backed down. Placerville, California [...]
William A. Donohue Almost all Americans (9 in 10) celebrate Christmas, and the majority (7 in 10) are Christian. So it should not be controversial to celebrate a holiday that is central to our country's history. But it is. We've been involved in the Christmas wars for many years. From my perspective, it reached a crescendo [...]
Bill Donohue Most Americans are conflicted about abortion: they don't want it banned in all circumstances, but they also don't support abortion for any reasons and at any time of pregnancy. In other words, most Americans want abortion legal but restricted. Most but not all. There are some who favor abortion unlimited—for any reason and at [...]
Religious Liberal Protestant denominations tried to draw comparisons between Hamas and the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). Others went further. Bishop Patricia Davenport of the Lutheran Southeastern Pennsylvania Synod said, "What we are experiencing is in part because of years of abuse, including mortal killing, perpetrated by the Israeli governmental forces upon the Palestinians....We continue to stand [...]
In the late 1960s, while on leave from the Air Force, Bill Donohue came home to see his family in New York City. At that time, Donohue was following the political upheaval that had gripped Ireland. He learned that Bernadette Devlin, the Irish firebrand, was in town, so he went to hear her address before a [...]
On October 14, President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden addressed their gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender friends at the Washington Center in the nation's capital. It was one of the most dishonest, pandering exercises imaginable. It was nothing short of a love fest. Lady Jill bemoaned how "LGBTQ individuals" apparently can't walk school halls "as [...]
When Josh Shapiro was the Pennsylvania Attorney General he went after the Catholic Church with a vengeance for allegations of sexual abuse made against priests, most of whom were either kicked out of the Church or were dead. How ironic it is to note that now that he is governor, he is in hot water over [...]
Faithful America is a far left-wing entity (it is not a true organization) that pretends to be Christian while working hard to undermine Christianity. It has a particular hatred of Catholics. Its latest salvo is hurled at Bishop Joseph Strickland. Newsweek, which acts like a PR outlet for Faithful America, said that "Thousands of Christians have [...]
Hating Jews is now the number-one sport in the world among left-wing activists. They may say they don't hate Jews—it's Israeli policies they find detestable. Don't believe them: They hate Jews. Here's the latest proof. Thanks to a splendid piece by sociologist David Ayers in The American Spectator, Bill Donohue learned of an open letter titled, [...]
