As the reputation of the Catholic League grows, so, too, do attempts to bait us. Two recent examples are worth noting. In a review of Spike Lee’s movie, "Summer of Sam" (based on the story of the New York killer, Son of Sam), film critic John Anderson described elements of the movie that seemed to promote [...]
On the north side of Chicago, in Wrigleyville, there is fetish lingerie store called Taboo-Tabou. Located in the "Alternative Shopping Complex" (a red flag for sure), the kinky establishment featured a mannequin dressed as a nun (in full habit) spanking a naked woman. A woman from Chicago obtained pictures of this "art." The naked woman had [...]
On June 23, the Catholic League ran an op-ed page ad in the New York Times that called on Disney to dump Miramax, its anti-Catholic subsidiary, the same way it dumped "Dogma." In the ad, reference was made to Bob and Harvey Weinstein, the co-chiefs at Miramax who purchased the film after Michael Eisner of Disney put the [...]
One of the more prestigious schools in the nation’s capital is the National Cathedral School. Not too long ago, the expensive Protestant prep school threw its Third Annual Celebration Dinner.

Catholics for a Free Choice (CFFC) wouldn’t exist were it not for the anti-Catholic bigots at the Ford Foundation and other centers of Catholic bashing in the philanthropic world. Whenever CFFC gets money dumped on it, new positions become available. That is why over the summer CFFC was advertising for a Director of International Programs, Director [...]

A really excellent publication is Envoy, a magazine of Catholic apologetics. Unfortunately, some who have recently received our direct mail survey that lists the Hunter College publication of the same name mistakenly thought that it was the classy apologetics magazine that printed obscene and blasphemous material. The real Envoy, run by Matthew Pinto, should never be [...]
