In all the years of monitoring anti-Christian bigotry, seldom have we seen something as vile as what happened on April 16. On Jon Stewart’s “The Daily Show,” they flashed a picture on the screen of a naked woman with her legs spread and a nativity scene ornament in between. He called it the “vagina manger.” We [...]

OBAMACARE RULING

By |2012-12-20T19:40:16-05:00June 26th, 2012|Categories: Catalyst, Front Page|Tags: |

The United States Supreme Court will rule in June on the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, popularly known as ObamaCare. How it rules may have grave consequences for religious liberty. If the Supreme Court knocks out the entire legislation, then the issue of forcing Catholic non-profits to pay for abortion-inducing drugs in [...]

FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK  William Donohue A few years ago, I was put in touch with an editor at Doubleday/Random House, Trace Murphy, about a book I wanted to do. After I explained to him what I wanted to write about, he gave me a polite response. Which meant, of course, that he really wasn’t interested [...]

JON STEWART HAS APOLOGIZED BEFORE

By |2012-12-20T21:30:26-05:00June 26th, 2012|Categories: Catalyst, Features|Tags: |

Jon Stewart refused to apologize to Christians for his “vagina manger” stunt of April 16, but not because he is averse to granting apologies. On April 30, 2009, he apologized for branding President Harry Truman a “war criminal.” He said that was “dumb” and “stupid.” Stewart issued two apologies in June 2011. The first one involved [...]

On the May 2 edition of “The Daily Show,” Jon Stewart opened with a replay of a bigoted tirade by Lawrence O’Donnell against Mormons that aired on MSNBC. Here is what Stewart said next: “Mormons aren’t the only religion whose origin story can be explained as a convenient alibi. You can easily say that Christianity was [...]

THE BISHOPS SPEAK FOR THE CHURCH

By |2017-03-20T17:52:05-04:00June 26th, 2012|Categories: Catalyst, Features|Tags: |

Most Catholics identify with their parish, not their diocese; they have even less interest in Church matters beyond the diocesan level.

Some liberal Catholics, as well as liberal non-Catholics, are predictably unhappy with the proceedings, and more than [...]
