Just before midnight on Thanksgiving eve, New York State Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a professed former altar boy, took it on the chin when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that his executive order limiting occupancy in houses of worship could not stand. It was blocked pending a review by the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals. Though [...]

The Catholic League has asked the District Attorney of Marin County, California to "apply the full measure of the law" to hold accountable the six vandals who toppled the statue of St. Junípero Serra in San Rafael this fall.
