Bill Donohue comments on reviews of "An Act of God," a play that opened on Broadway last night: What's not to like about another religion-bashing Broadway play?

Bill Donohue comments on the report released today on sexual abuse at Horace Mann School, an elite private school in New York City: The Horace Mann sexual abuse scandal has much in common with the one in the Catholic Church: a) the abuse took place mostly between the mid-1960s and the mid-1980s b) little or nothing [...]

Letterman's departure is being treated by the Hollywood crowd as a signature moment in television history. But no fair-minded person could ever come to that conclusion.

Bill Donohue comments on remarks made by President Obama this week at Georgetown University: Much of what President Obama said about poverty was insightful and accurate, but he made some statements that deserve a rejoinder.
