"I look to CBS News for good news about the Catholic faith" is a sentence you'll never, ever hear. So we thought it was important to go back and throw some kudos at Bill Whitaker and 60 Minutes for a December 18 report on reported miracles from the pilgrimage site of Lourdes, France.

The first “gender-queer” priest in the Church of England is hoping to use her(his?) priesthood title to reach LGBTQ youth. Reverend Bingo Allison (yes, that’s the name we’re working with here) wants to “normalize it for children.”

When PBS marked the death of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI on its Saturday evening news program, the obituary was dominated by a fierce anti-Benedict voice railing against the former pope’s alleged neglect of sex abuse cases among Catholic clergy. PBS News Weekend anchor John Yang introduced the story with a brute, unfriendly summing up of Benedict’s tenure: Catholics in mourning. Pope Emeritus…

Last week, Pope Benedict XVI died at the age of 95, nearly a decade after stepping down as head of the Catholic Church. His life was marked by adherence to a belief in an eternal truth above all. As he stated in a 2008 meeting with Catholic educators at the Catholic University of America, “Truth means more than knowledge: knowing the truth leads us to discover the good... (W)e observe, with…

All three broadcast morning newscasts devoted full stories on Monday to the first day of public viewing for the late Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. CBS’s Chris Livesay was the most antagonistic to Benedict’s legacy, regurgitating once again the “…

The passing of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI was greeted with a familiar litany of liberal griping about the “strict,” “rigid” “hardline” Pope’s stance on ecclesiastical issues, with ABC, CBS and NBC all reminding viewers that as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, he had been tagged “God’s Rottweiler” by critics. On NBC, reporter Anne Thompson described Cardinal Ratzinger as “cartoonish” before his…

It’s the season for giving. I’ll give! I’ll donate to the Doe Fund, a charity that helps ex-cons find purpose in life through work. “Work works!” they say. It does. Doe Fund graduates are less likely to go back to jail. I’ll donate to Student Sponsor Partners, which helps at-risk kids escape bad “public (government-run)” schools. SSP sends the kids to Catholic schools. I’m not Catholic, but I…

None other than Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez opened her mouth and said something stupid … again.

Over the weekend, pro-life advocate Father Frank Pavone was removed from the Vatican. Amid the news, Pavone reaffirmed that he’d not stop fighting for life while other users stood with him in solidarity. 

“Devout Catholic” Biden makes no sense. Again.

During the Roundtable on Women’s Reproductive Health at the University of California, San Francisco, on August 26, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi claimed that opposing abortion is “sinful.”

In a recent New York Times opinion piece, First Things Editor Julia Yost says that Catholicism's rebellion against modern woke ideas of morality gives it a “transgressive” and “hip” perception. Both left-wingers and faithful Catholics are stirring conversations about the article on Twitter.

Among Joe Biden’s meager accomplishments, lowering the bar for what it takes to be a “devout Catholic” must rank up there. According to the NY Times writer Michael Shear, “Devout” Catholic Joe Biden’s faith led to Roe's overturn, and it’s now time for more pro-abortion…

Early Wednesday afternoon, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre decided to face reporters solo for a press briefing, doing so for only the 14th time out of her 41 briefings since taking the top job. And, as part of this hapless endeavor, she faced questions from both the left and right on abortion with the Biden administration set to expand the funding for abortions s well as House…
