The report by the Trump administration's Task Force on Anti-Christian Bias laid out the extent to which Christians had their First Amendment rights violated by the Biden administration, as well as by some states. None of this is news to the Catholic League—we provided a trove of documents to the Task Force and Bill Donohue personally [...]

No institution today has a better record handling the sexual abuse of minors than the Catholic Church. Its record from the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s was bad, but given the reforms initiated in 2002, it has all but eradicated this offense.
