As an organization with deep roots in defending the rights and faith of Irish Catholic immigrants since 1836, we are shocked and deeply disappointed by Governor Whitmer's recent actions. Her decision to participate in a parody mocking the sacrament of Holy Communion is deeply offensive. In a recent video, Governor Whitmer participated in a stunt with social media influencer Liz Plank. Ms. Whitmer placed a single Dorito chip on the tongue of Ms. Plank, kneeling before her in a clear caricature of Holy Communion. This burlesque of a sacrament that is the centerpiece of faith for Catholics is … [Read more...] about Whitmer Defames and the Gaslights Catholics

Empty Promises and More Perfidy: UK Fails to Prosecute Bloody Sunday Perjury
The recent decision by the Northern Ireland Prosecution Service not to prosecute fifteen former British soldiers and one civilian for perjury concerning their testimony during the Bloody Sunday Inquiry is yet another attack on the universally accepted standards of justice and a continuing denial of the fundamental human rights of the victims and their families. The lies told by these men were not harmless fibs; they slandered the names of innocent victims and their families, they covered up killings which former British Prime Minister David Cameron admitted forty years later were … [Read more...] about Empty Promises and More Perfidy: UK Fails to Prosecute Bloody Sunday Perjury
Call to Action: Ask Your Congressional Representative to Support H. RES. 596 and Democracy in Northern Ireland

AOH Seeks to Sack U.K. End Run in Florida
Recently, the British Government passed the "Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act." This legislation is nothing but a callous attempt to airbrush the role of the British Government during the conflict in Northern Ireland at the expense of the victims and their families. The bill will halt all criminal investigations court proceedings and give an amnesty for all crimes committed during the Northern Ireland conflict, even murder. Per legal scholars, this amnesty goes even further than the infamous amnesty of Dictator Pinochet. In historic unity, this act is … [Read more...] about AOH Seeks to Sack U.K. End Run in Florida
