Bill Donohue comments on why religious liberty is such a key issue: An AP-NORC survey finds that the vast majority of Americans believe that preserving religious liberty is a paramount goal, especially for Christians. There is much evidence to support this conviction, and plenty of reasons why this issue looms large in 2016. The unrelenting assault [...]
Bill Donohue comments on Sarah Silverman's latest outrage: Sarah Silverman, the foul-mouthed, anti-Catholic bigot, is at it again. On Christmas morning, she tweeted, "Merry Christmas! Jesus was gender fluid." Thus did she use the celebration of our Lord's birth to mock Christian beliefs about marriage, family and human sexuality. Silverman has a long history of exploiting [...]
Bill Donohue comments on Monsignor William Lynn: There are many innocent priests who have been railroaded by lying accusers, malicious so-called victims' advocates, rapacious lawyers and biased newspapers, but few have been more badly treated than Philly's Msgr. William Lynn. Yesterday, a Pennsylvania appellate court overturned his conviction—for a second time—and ordered a new trial. The [...]
Bill Donohue comments on the Sony film "Concussion": "Concussion," which stars Will Smith, opens on Christmas Day, and while it may not put the N.F.L. in the best light, officials at Sony made every effort not to bash the football industry. They never afforded Catholics similar treatment. We know from a revealing story in the New [...]

Specifically, he has banned a presentation of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" at one school, and ordered another not to allow "Silent Night" to be performed. He said [...]
Bill Donohue comments on the surge in Satanism: In a world where Christians are routinely being murdered and raped in the name of God, even non-believers must be curious about the rise of Satanism. Here at home we are also witnessing a surge in Satanic attacks. Until two years ago, Satanists were never bothered by the [...]
Bill Donohue comments on atheists at Christmastime: Atheist Herman Mehta insists that "Christians don't own December." In fact, we do. Just as blacks own February—it is Black History Month—Christians own December. Atheists own nothing, which is consistent, of course, with what they believe. This has to be said given all the forlorn stories generated by the [...]
Bill Donohue comments on the Catholic League's manger scene: For the past 20 years, the Catholic League has erected a life-size nativity scene in Central Park. This year's display is right in front of the Plaza Hotel, on 5th Avenue between 58th and 59th Streets (Central Park South). New Yorkers and tourists love to take pictures [...]
Bill Donohue would like to share something special: "The video, 'Say Merry Christmas,' is produced by the Say Merry Christmas network; it is a joy to watch. Anyone who supports the Catholic League will realize why it is so dear to us. The presentation is flawless. I would like to thank Catholic League members Rita and [...]
