The decision for the New York Times to publish the op-ed by Daniel A. Olivas in early February was malicious. Here’s why. Olivas says he once knew a priest in California who was a molester (the priest, who is dead, was suspended from ministry in the 1990s). Point taken: Olivas is angry. But what was the [...]
Recently the Boy Scouts of America were expected to make a decision rescinding its ban on homosexuals; after some deliberation, the group postponed its decision to May. The issue of allowing homosexuals to join the Boy Scouts is second only to the most important issue: the autonomy of the organization to craft its own strictures absent [...]
The week before Pope Benedict XVI announced his resignation, Andrew Sullivan was on a rampage saying that the pope “enabled and abetted the rape of children.” A day later, with regard to the revelations of old cases of priestly sexual abuse in Los Angeles, he asked, “How much did the Pope know? And who did he [...]
Ian Buruma is not exactly a household name, but he is a hero to readers of the New York Review of Books. His fan base was obviously warm to his piece in the Beirut newspaper, The Daily Star, taking a shot at Pope Benedict XVI in the most ridiculous fashion. Buruma began by recounting the brutal [...]
On February 4, HBO debuted Alex Gibney’s movie, “Mea Maxima Culpa.” Before the propaganda was even aired, we accused the filmaker of libel.

Recently ABC News broke the story of an Ohio Catholic high school dean of students who was fired for supporting gay marriage on his blog. Unsurprisingly, Catholic bashers began foaming at the mouth. This issue had nothing to do with the firing of the Cincinnati administrator—the Left would have applauded if he were fired for making [...]
“Jimmy Savile beat and raped a 12-year-old girl during a secret satanic ritual in a hospital.” This was the opening line in a recent English newspaper’s story about BBC child rapist Jimmy Savile. The BBC icon, who died in 2011, is believed to be responsible for abusing at least 450 males and females, aged eight to [...]
Sen. Dianne Feinstein recently invited Rev. Canon Gary Hall, Dean of the National Cathedral, to open her comments on gun control with a prayer. Had Sen. Feinstein invited a member of the clergy to open her press conference with a non-partisan prayer, it not only would have been unobjectionable, it would have been commendable. There are [...]
