An incident recently occurred at Vanderbilt University that merited our attention. The good news is that the president, Daniel Diermeier, put the fire out just before we decided to pounce. Just to make sure something like this doesn't happen again, Bill Donohue shared his concerns with the president. The issued involved a very serious threat to [...]
The New York Times reported on September 17 that those who want limits on abortion are "out of step" with public opinion. The Times is wrong. Consider the data from four different polling companies. In June 2018, a Gallup poll found that only 13 percent of Americans said abortion should be legal in the last three [...]
No lie told by Senator Elizabeth Warren will ever top her effort to pass herself off as a Native American; however, her claim that she is pro-choice is a close second. While she may present herself as a champion of women's rights, Warren does not believe they have a "right to choose." In her rhetoric, voting [...]
The Associated Press recently ran a story on the collapse of the Methodist church. It has lost roughly half its membership since the 1960s, and it is now at another turning point as many more are threatening to leave. It is not alone. As the story notes, "the United Methodist Church is also the latest of [...]
Any man who helps to kill his mother is capable of invoking the Bible to justify killing children. That man is California Gov. Gavin Newsom. On September 15, he tweeted, "To any woman seeking an abortion in these anti-freedom states: CA will defend your right to make decisions about your health." This was a master spin [...]
The National Education Association (NEA) is the largest labor union in the nation, representing more than three million teachers and administrators. It is also a decidedly left-wing organization, and as such often evinces a hyper-critical perspective of the United States, and Western civilization, in general. Its frontal assault on Columbus is one such example. Go to [...]
A new American Family Survey found that when it comes to sex education in the schools, and related issues, liberal Democrats are the outliers—they are so far removed from the thinking of the average American that it is startling. When asked if the schools are spending too little time discussing sexual orientation and gender identity, only [...]
Jeremy Boland is the Assistant Principal of Cos Cob Elementary School in Greenwich, Connecticut. He was supposed to start the new school year on September 1. But he never showed up. His anti-Catholic comments put him in hot water, and we had something to do with it. He was placed on administrative leave, pending an investigation. [...]
The Jesuit magazine, America, has done important work, but when it comes to understanding clergy sexual abuse, it has failed miserably. The latest example is an article by Michael O'Loughlin. It is an uncritical look at a report issued by professors from the Jesuit-sponsored Santa Clara University. According to the report, sexual repression and clericalism caused [...]
William A. Donohue While doing the research for my book, The Truth about Clergy Sexual Abuse, I came to the conclusion that many of the Church's harshest critics were phonies.
