We live in strange times. Consider that in early June, a defrocked Catholic priest from Missouri was sentenced to nearly five years in prison on charges he possessed child pornography. In the latter part of the month, a former New York Law professor was sentenced to six months in jail for collecting 150,000 pictures of the [...]
Given the heightened interest the media have regarding the sex abuse scandal in the Catholic Church, we thought it would be nice to see if what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Ever since we criticized Bill O'Reilly for attacking the pope, he won't let up on us. On June 3, he took two more shots at us. Bill Donohue has never flinched from debating anyone. Any time O’Reilly wants to mix it up with our Bill, all he has to do is give us a call.
