by Deal Hudson, Crisis Magazine Editor & Publisher (Catalyst 5/1999) In spite of the success of the Catholic League, two questions need to be answered: 1) Why is Catholic bashing is the only acceptable prejudice left in the United States? 2) Why do Catholics continue to put up with it? So I decided to put these [...]
by William A. Donohue (Catalyst 3/1999) In a new book, NBC anchorman Tom Brokaw argues that those Americans who came of age during the Depression and the Second World War constitute our "greatest generation." Though I was not of that generation (I am one of those "baby boomers"), I would agree: there was something very special [...]
by William A. Donohue (Catalyst 12/1998) We get so much anti-Catholic literature sent to us from Protestant, mostly Evangelical, sources that it’s enough to make me wonder whether the Reformation ever ended.

After recently attending a meeting in Rome of the Central Comittee that is handling the affair, I came away with certain anxieties about one aspect of the Jubilee preparation. [...]
by William A. Donohue (Catalyst 10/1996) In August, Cardinal Bernardin along with eight bishops and 17 other Catholic leaders met to discuss the possibility of reaching common ground between various factions within the Church.

by William A. Donohue (Catalyst 10/1996) Perhaps the most invidious form of anti-Catholicism is that which emanates from elite circles.
