Bill Donohue comments on how so-called victims' advocates are participating in the war on religion: Freedom From Religion Foundation is an atheist organization.

Bill Donohue comments on the Feb. 13th cover story in Rolling Stone: The lengthy piece by Mark Binelli on Pope Francis is respectful, though hardly without flaws.

Bill Donohue comments on media coverage of the pope: Not a day goes by without a pundit or editorial writer opining on what Pope Francis said about some controversial issue.
