Anti-Catholic groups such as GLAAD have been selling the false notion that there is a "stark contrast between the Roman Catholic hierarchy and the laity," and that "These bishops and cardinals are often greatly out of step with what the vast majority of Catholics believe." As the Catholic League-Polling Company survey recently disclosed, that is mostly [...]
Who but Charlie Hebdo would find the tragic drowning death of a little boy funny?

She then used one of her dancers—also dressed as a nun—to ride [...]
Recently, an article published in the Washington Post by columnist George Will that was syndicated in other papers said the following: "He [the pope] stands against modernity, rationality, science and, ultimately...open societies."
