The Catholic League strategy to crush Samantha Bee's TBS show, ''Full Frontal," is paying big dividends. As a direct result of our efforts, four major advertisers have discontinued advertising on her show: Verizon, Procter and Gamble (P&G), Wendy's, and Ashley HomeStore. This is a credit to all of those on our email list who contacted officials [...]
William J. Flynn, former chairman of Mutual of America, died on June 2. Bill Donohue attended his wake. Flynn was 91.

William A. Donohue July 1st marked my 25th anniversary as president and CEO of the Catholic League. It's been a great run, and I am not about to pack it in. On July 18, I turn 71. Fortunately, God gave me pretty good health and a whole lot of energy. When I took over in 1993, [...]
Bill Donohue The arrogance of Western elites should never be underestimated, and this is especially true of their vision for affecting change in the developing world.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in June that a Colorado baker could not be forced against his will, grounded in his religious beliefs, to make a wedding cake that affirmed a "marriage" between two homosexuals. The 7-2 ruling is a victory for religious liberty. The high court ruled that the baker, Jack Phillips, was the victim [...]
