College Republicans (CR) at George Washington University stored crosses in their office, shared with College Democrats (CD), which had been used at a pro-life event last week. When the CRs returned to the office this past Monday, they found that a number of crosses had been desecrated. One cross had a penis drawn on it with [...]
The image of Our Blessed Mother remains under attack. In Chicago, an image believed to be the Virgin Mary on an expressway underpass has been repeatedly defaced. Demonic graffiti is the latest assault on the image. In Kansas, vandals smashed part of a statue of Mary, along with statues of Christ, St. John and St. Bernadette, [...]
Based on the Raymond Khoury novel, the NBC mini-series "The Last Templar" is a poor knock-off of "The DaVinci Code" that tries to fuse fast action with religious mystery. According to the reviews, it fails miserably at both. The story is about the hunt for a relic of the Knights Templar; the relic leads to their hidden treasure, the lost diary [...]
To his credit, President Barack Obama did not shy away from mentioning God several times in his Inaugural Address. We couldn’t help but notice, however, that the very same pundits and organizations that branded President George W. Bush a “theocrat” for referencing God were noticeably silent in their reaction to Obama’s God-talk. Maybe that’s because they [...]

This now-defunct foundation funded the organizations that handled the vast majority of abortion rights litigation in this country. The good news is that the losers are "the Center for Reproductive Rights [...]
The Catholic League notes with great sadness the passing away of Father Richard John Neuhaus. He was a brilliant and devoted son of the Church who will be sorely missed. Indeed, he is irreplaceable.
We’ve gotten a number of inquires about the movie “Doubt.” The reason we said nothing about it is because the film, like the play, was focused on a particular miscreant priest, and at no time did it take liberties by making sweeping condemnations of all priests. That’s not an unimportant distinction: it’s the difference between being [...]
The Catholic League notes with deep regret the passing of Paul Weyrich. He was a principled and patriotic man whose contribution to social conservatism will never be forgotten. He will be sorely missed.
New Line Cinema has a dud on its hands. They spent upwards of $180 million making “The Golden Compass,” and American audiences just aren’t buying it. After debuting with a mere $26 million, it plummeted to a measly $9 million its second weekend out. Compare the numbers for “Golden Compass” with those of the Will Smith [...]
