Bill Donohue The Catholic Diocese of Cleveland, under the leadership of Bishop Edward C. Malesic, has issued a policy for Catholic parishes and schools on sexuality and gender identity that is a model for all Catholic entities, nationwide. Predictably, LGBT activists and their supporters in the media and politics are unhappy, and some are seriously misrepresenting [...]
If you look hard enough to find dirt, you will probably succeed. We are all sinners. A more interesting issue is why some people and institutions are the constant targets of dirt digging while others get a pass. The latest example is an article published in the September 11 edition of The Week magazine. Devika Rao’s [...]
The day after it was reported that new documents were found showing that the Catholic Church saved over 3,000 Jews during the Nazi occupation of Rome, the New York Times ran an article on this story noting that during this time Pope Pius XII “remained publicly silent.” In other words, we are to believe that all [...]
Bill in the News (Townhall): In 2014, Bill Donohue of the Catholic League wrote about a "mass graves" hysteria in Ireland around a claim that 800 bodies were found outside a home Catholic nuns used to operate near Galway. There, too, the Catholics were equated with the Nazis committing a Holocaust. There was no mass grave. [...]

Bill Donohue He meant well. Basketball superstar LeBron James wanted to create a school for struggling minority students in his home town of Akron, Ohio that would be a model of excellence. It turned out to be a failure. The question is why. Inadequate funding. Systemic racism. These factors are constantly being blamed for the poor [...]
Bill Donohue As we begin the new school year, five months after a mass murder at a Christian school in Nashville, the manifesto of the killer has still not been released to the public. On March 27, 2023, a 28-year-old female, Audrey Hale, who falsely claimed to be a male, shot and killed three children and [...]
Bill Donohue If professed vegetarians publicly criticized a vegetarian association for insisting that its members follow a vegetarian diet, no one would listen to them. Why is it that when a member of the Catholic clergy insists that his flock follow Catholic teachings he is criticized for doing so by professed Catholics? The difference is the [...]
Bill Donohue The ubiquity of incivility is the new normal. Walking the streets of New York City these days can be treacherous. It used to be that pedestrians had to be wary of cars, but now they are confronted with bicycles, mopeds, scooters, and skateboards. These folks come out of nowhere, and from all sides. Now [...]
