Bill Donohue On December 12, we were contacted by a Catholic League member who sought to have a nativity scene displayed in the lobby of his cooperative building in Larchmont, New York, a town in Westchester. The lobby has a Christmas tree and a menorah. His request was denied. When he was told that the nativity [...]
Bill Donohue Every year the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), a group of Christian-hating atheists, likes to erect a silly Winter Solstice exhibit at the Capitol in Madison, Wisconsin. This year they are in for a surprise. We have decided to send these activists a lesson, reminding them that the Christmas season is our season. We [...]
Bill in the News (National Catholic Register): ...Bill Donohue of the Catholic Civil Rights League — usually in the umbrage-taking business — wrote in 2011, when the show was returned for a second season, that it was “one the few TV shows on the broadcast networks to treat Catholicism fairly” and that “the family-oriented program often [...]
Bill Donohue It’s time the medical profession in the U.S. caught up with the U.K., and most European nations, by pulling back its support for gender ideology. It’s madness and every sane person knows this to be true. The American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Federation of Pediatric Organizations, the American Psychological Association [...]
Bill Donohue Elton John used to be a crackhead, and now he regrets it. What got him started, he says, was marijuana. “I maintain that it’s addictive. It leads to other drugs.” Of course, many people never take the next step. That doesn’t mean the Rocket Man is wrong: some people, for all kinds of reasons, [...]
Bill Donohue The populist surge needs to go further: the elites who claim to represent minorities are too often working against their needs. Take the issues of school choice and affirmative action. African Americans, Asians and Hispanics favor the former but oppose application of the latter; in general, their leaders oppose the former and favor the [...]
Bill Donohue Surveys show that the majority of Americans want illegal immigrants deported, especially those who have been convicted of crime. If they were asked exclusively about those convicted sex crimes, that number would surely be greater. But many in Congress disagree—they want to keep them right here in America. In the last year, a total [...]
Bill Donohue The results of the presidential election show that well-educated, wealthy secularists are not like the rest of us. In virtually every demographic group, Donald Trump either won, or did better than he did in 2016, with the exception of this cadre of voters. All the exit polls show that Trump beat Kamala Harris among [...]
Bill Donohue The Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians in Europe (OIDAC Europe) annually collects data on the state of religious liberty. Its latest report garnered media coverage on both sides of the Atlantic, but most of it was simply a tally of offenses committed against Christians; the motives of the perpetrators were given scant [...]
Bill Donohue Today, the Catholic League erected a life-size nativity scene in Central Park. It is located on 59th St. and 5th Avenue, at the Grand Army Plaza, not far from the Plaza Hotel. We received a permit from the New York City Parks Department, as we have for decades. We display our manger scene to [...]
