WashPost's Miller Sad That Nuns No Longer Escape the 'Oppression of Ma
In Saturday’s Washington Post, religion columnist Lisa Miller brought her usual radical feminism to the table insisting Mary be “heard” as the Vatican insisted that American nuns and sisters actually act like they belong to the Catholic Church.
But this line stood out: “For more than a thousand years, women like Mary have entered religious life hoping to find a safe place where they might…
Ignorant Maher: Romney Only Gives to Mormons - 'His Cult'; 'That's Not
Bill Maher on Friday evening once again displayed a level of ignorance and intolerance that should completely disqualify him as a political commentator.
On HBO's Real Time, the vulgar anti-theist said Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney doesn't give to charity. "All his charitable donations are to Mormons. He gives to his cult. That’s not a charity. They're not poor people" (video…

More One-Sided Reporting From CNN on Issues Involving the Catholic Chu
When it comes to social issues, you can expect to get mostly one side of the story from CNN's reporting – the liberal side.

Phillips started off with this jab at the…
Cal Thomas Column: The 'New' Charles Colson
After Richard Nixon lost the 1960 presidential election to John F. Kennedy and the California governor's race two years later (when he uttered the immortal line to the media, "You don't have Nixon to kick around anymore") the former vice president knew he must reinvent himself to run for president again in 1968.

WashPost Gives Platform to Lib Theologian: Global Warming Is God's 'Ju
When conservative televangelist Pat Robertson sees God's wrath against sexual sins as the cause for devastating natural disasters, it's roundly mocked by the liberal secular media.

WaPo Writer Calls Vatican Disciplinary Action a ‘Crackdown on Nuns
Don’t you hate it when the Catholic Church gets all, you know, Catholic? Washington Post “She the People” columnist Melinda Henneberger does.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops speaking out with concern about the Paul Ryan/GOP budget plan is a "step in the right direction," according to liberal MSNBC host Alex Wagner.

CBS's Rose Hounds Boehner on Ryan Budget, Cites Bishops; Went Easy on
Charlie Rose did his best to forward liberals' talking points about Rep. Paul Ryan's budget proposal on Wednesday's CBS This Morning, during an interview of House Speaker John Boehner.

The anchor even went so…
NPR Plays Up 'Liberal Religious Leaders' Slamming Ryan Budget
On Monday's Morning Edition, NPR's Barbara Bradley Hagerty touted how "liberal religious leaders said the Republican [budget] plan...was an affront to the Gospel, and especially Jesus's command to care for the poor."

Liberal Radio Hosts Rant at Catholic League, Scummy 'Nazi Pope
Liberal radio hosts were furious with the Catholic League for mocking Hillary Rosen after she attacked Ann Romney for not working.

On Friday, Bill Press…

April 15, Tax Day, fell on a Sunday this year. American taxpayers get a two-day reprieve on the deadline this year thanks to Monday being a public holiday in the District of Columbia.
