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?

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."

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.

by Inez Fitzgerald Storck (Catalyst 11/1998) Good parents have always known that it is necessary to watch over their children’s reading.

by William A. Donohue (Catalyst 4/1998) At the conclusion of John M. Swomley’s article in the January/February edition of The Humanist, the credits read that he is "emeritus professor of social ethics at St. Paul School of Theology in Kansas City, Missouri, and president of Americans for Religious Liberty."

by William A. Donohue (Catalyst 10/1996) Perhaps the most invidious form of anti-Catholicism is that which emanates from elite circles. When men and women of power and influence engage in Catholic bashing, the effects can be devastating, which is why the Catholic League responds so quickly and decisively. But there is also a brand of anti-Catholicism [...]
