Bill Donohue Vice President aspirant and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg said this week that not only does abortion liberate women, “men are also more free in a country where we have a president who stands up for things like access to abortion care. Men are more free.” Buttigieg, who contends that he is married to [...]
Bill Donohue Thomas Jolly, the Artistic Director of the Olympic ceremonies, insulted Christians all over the world by offering an obscene portrayal of the Last Supper during the opening ceremonies. He is scheduled to do the closing ceremony. He should not be allowed to do so. Yesterday, I wrote to Thomas Bach, President of the International [...]

Bill Donohue The media are so fixated on finding a political motive that explains why Thomas Matthew Crooks tried to assassinate Donald Trump that they are overlooking other factors. There are psychological and cultural variables that are vastly more important. Crooks was a registered Republican who made a small donation to a left-wing group when Biden [...]
Bill Donohue The Catholic League is running radio ads during the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee; they started July 14 and will run through July 19 (we will do likewise next month when the Democrats meet in Chicago). The ads are running on WLS 890 AM. It is based in Chicago and has one of the [...]
Bill Donohue What happened in Butler, Pennsylvania is emblematic of our culture of comfortableness. We are a nation that lacks accountability for misconduct and incompetence, the net result of which is a growing pattern of serious social problems. It is institutionally ubiquitous.
