The least serious thing that happened to the Los Angeles Dodgers over "Pride Night" weekend, June 16-18, was to lose all three games to the San Francisco Giants; the Dodgers scored a total of 8 runs; the Giants scored 29. The worst thing that happened was being trashed by Catholics, tarring their reputation. In the five [...]
On June 30, in a 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the First Amendment rights of a Colorado woman, Lorie Smith, must be respected when it comes to forcing her to express beliefs that are contrary to her conscience. This was a great victory for free speech and freedom of religion. The Catholic League [...]
William A. Donohue July 1 marked my 30th year as president and CEO of the Catholic League. Bernadette Brady-Egan, our vice president, celebrated her 28th anniversary on the same day. We've had a good run, and we're not done. One reason for not retiring is the state of our country. Never have I seen our country [...]
Bill Donohue 1979: This was the beginning of the Sisters. In San Francisco's Castro District three men dressed in traditional nun's habit walked the streets. One of them carried a machine gun. Then they went to a nude beach. It was then that they adopted the name the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. 1982: A year after [...]
The following entries are a brief summary of the actions we took against the Dodgers. As you can see, we were relentless, issuing one news release after another, contacting Catholic and non-Catholic notables in Los Angeles, taking out radio ads, calling out those who were duplicitous, publishing background material concerning previous battles with the "Sisters," etc. [...]
MASS MAILING TO L.A. PARISHES ON "SISTERS" Today we are sending our report on the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to over 300 parishes in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. In the cover letter, I am asking pastors to let their parishioners know about our response to the Dodgers giving an award to the "Sisters" at Dodger [...]
Major League Baseball (MLB) was okay with one of its teams honoring a vile anti-Catholic group of drag queen bigots, but it was not okay with a pitcher who objects to the radical LGBT agenda. That was the principal takeaway in light of MLB's response to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence being honored by the Los [...]
The Dodgers and the Giants are not only longtime baseball rivals, they handle similar controversial issues in an entirely different matter. Over the past few decades, both teams have reached out to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, but after the Catholic League criticized each for doing so, their responses were quite different. The Dodgers controversy was [...]
It's hard to believe, but on June 5 California Democrats honored one of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Michael Williams (he goes by "Sister Roma"). The invitation was extended by Senate President pro Tempore Toni G. Atkins. Williams is one of a larger group of queers and trans persons that was honored on the floor of [...]
We live in a postmodern world where people make up their own idea of truth. It's delusional. People are entitled to their own opinion, but there is only one truth. And in Bill Donohue's book, The Truth about Clergy Sexual Abuse: Clarifying the Facts and the Causes, he amassed over 800 footnote citations telling the truth [...]
