President Barack Obama has been roundly criticized for his recent unconstitutional mandate to force Catholic charities (and other religious institutions) to provide (directly and then indirectly) access to contraception and abortion drugs. Peggy Noonan, who was once quite sympathetic to

Nicki Minaj arrived at last night’s Grammy Awards accompanied by a man dressed up like the Pope. But the singer’s subsequent performance was anything but spiritual. Minaj performed a faux exorcism and used the altar boy characters on stage in
This has been a tough week for President Obama. He picked a fight with the Catholic Church, the largest charity in the world, and his poll numbers took a nose dive. And when he called for a compromise, most Catholics and Americans
It is inconceivable to me that on issues not involving the fairly declarative Ten Commandments, anyone would skew the Hebrew Scriptures or the New Testament into something that fits their partisan political point of view. And as far as the

Here we go again. Prepare to be shocked, appalled — even offended! — by another attack on Christians, namely Catholics, by none other than pope hater Sinead O’Connor. I’m just kidding about being offended; it’s obvious she’s screaming for attention
As is the case with all Lefty celebs, Sinead O’Connor’s merely an anti-Palin rant away from a comeback. Or she could rip up another photo of the Pope… THR: Sinead O’Connor has declared she will never again appear on Ireland’s
