By Kate O'Beirne (Catalyst January/February 2006) For over thirty years, the plain words of Roe and Doe have been distorted by the media. On the 30th anniversary of the decisions, media polls reflected the ongoing disinformation campaign. CNN asked, "Do you favor the Supreme Court ruling that women have the right to an abortion during the first three months of [...]
by the Rev. Gordon J. MacRae (Catalyst 11/2005) Three years before the latest wave of clergy sex abuse claims rippled out of Boston across the country, Sean Murphy, age 37, and his mother, Sylvia, demanded $850,000 from the Archdiocese of Boston.

(Catalyst, October 2005) Like most Catholics, I know Mother Angelica through EWTN (Eternal World Television Network). Now, thanks to Ray Arroyo's inspiring portrait of her, I know her much better.

When Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Steven Breyer were nominated by President [...]
by Rebecca R. Messall, Esq. (Catalyst 7-8/2005) This article is taken from its fuller version in the fall 2004 issue of Human Life Review, available in its entirety at www.humanlifereview.com. Everyone knows that the infamous Roe v. Wade opinion legalized abortion, but almost no one knows that legal abortion was a strategy by eugenicists, as early as [...]
by William Doino, Jr. (Catalyst 4/2005) Eight years ago this month, the New Yorker magazine published a spectacularly long article entitled "The Silence."
