We became the latest victim of the cancel culture when education elites refused to run our ad with a pro-Christmas message. To read the ad that the elites couldn't stomach, click here. The appeal letter that members got in October was a request for funds to pay for a pro-Christmas ad that would be sent to [...]
The Catholic League has asked the District Attorney of Marin County, California to "apply the full measure of the law" to hold accountable the six vandals who toppled the statue of St. Junípero Serra in San Rafael this fall. Bill Donohue wrote to D.A. Lori E. Frugoli saying that the Catholic League fully supports the efforts [...]
Here is a portion of how I began my "President's Desk" essay in the December 2008 edition of Catalyst.

Nothing symbolizes the difference between the protesters more than what happened on November 5th in Phoenix and Portland. In Phoenix, Trump supporters gathered outside of Arizona's Maricopa County Elections office to [...]
There isn't much left of Catholic "progressives" these days, which explains why they are trying so hard to find a public person whom they can anoint as one of their own.

When Sen. Dianne Feinstein made a patently anti-Catholic comment in 2017, saying to circuit-court nominee Amy Coney Barrett, "the dogma lives loudly within you," Bill Donohue wrote to the senator expressing his concerns.
