Recently, Hillary Clinton delivered a speech at the Women in the World Summit in New York City. It was not surprising that Hillary Clinton, who strongly opposes a ban on partial-birth abortion, would tell her feminist audience that she supports Planned Parenthood. What was surprising was her comment on the need to change religious beliefs on [...]
A few weeks ago, an op-ed written by Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal was featured in the New York Times. Governor Bobby Jindal is more than a practicing Catholic—he is a man who will not change his "faith-driven view" of marriage, even if other public officials are willing to do so. Nor should he. His recent statement [...]
The following article by Bill Donohue was published by Newsmax on April 29: "Why Doesn't the Left Advocate for Persecuted Christians?" That is the question recently raised by Lucia Annunziata in the Italian edition of the Huffington Post. Annunziata is a courageous woman—it takes guts for an atheist journalist to call out her friends on the [...]
Just recently, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments on same-sex marriage. For some reason, Newsweek thought that this would entice the pope to change on this subject.

Kansas City Star editorial writer Yael T. Abouhalkah's mother should have told her son to mind his own business.

A couple of weeks ago, President Obama spoke at the Catholic-Evangelical Leadership Summit on Overcoming Poverty at Georgetown University. Much of what President Obama said about poverty was insightful and accurate, but he made some statements that deserve a rejoinder. President Obama clearly understands, intellectually, the need for character formation and the role that values play [...]
Viacom has long been known for its anti-Catholic fare on Comedy Central and other networks. The Catholic League has dealt with them many times, both before and after their split with CBS. And Bill Donohue treasures the letters from head honcho Sumner Redstone defending bigotry as purely a free speech issue. Recently Viacom pushed new buttons: [...]
A recent New York Times op-ed page article by Frank Bruni applauded Pope Francis for remarks he made a few weeks ago on women where he called for equal pay for equal work. But the cheers didn't last long. "He left out the part about women in the Roman Catholic Church not even getting a shot [...]
