  Encyclopedia: Catholic League (Italian)
The Catholic League (or Holy League) was a coalition of various European powers that was formed by Pope Julius II in 1511, at the height of the War of the League of Cambrai, to defend the states of Italy against Louis XII of France and thus to strengthen Papal power.
The League of Cambrai was a league against Venice formed in 1508 under the leadership of Pope Julius II.
Fighting continued until the overwhelming French victory at the Battle of Marignano in 1516 caused the League to surrender and acquiesce to French domination of northern Italy.

 CFFC Publications: The Catholic Right   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-08)
While the Catholic right is not monolithic, its core organizations share a common political and social orientation that goes far beyond the positions on family life, sexuality, and reproductive choice that they stress when seeking support from the church hierarchy and the public.
To understand the modern Catholic right in America, one must examine the varied and disparate strands of social thinking and activism it encompasses, all of which are represented by the organizations profiled in A New Rite.
While individual Catholics played pivotal roles in the construction of the predominantly Protestant "Religious Right" (and Weyrich is said to have coined the term "Moral Majority"), it is only recently that they have attempted to build a self-consciously Catholic component for this movement.

 Catholic Culture : Document Library : Pius XII and the Jews: Greatness dishonored
Shortly after, Catholic and Jewish protests to the play were forgotten, and the play turned out to be only the first in a long series of subsequent artistic plays, books, movies and television productions which gave negative presentations of Pius XII's actions.
Even prominent Catholic writers started attacking his conduct, and the wheel has turned so much that now Pius XII is even accused of being anti Jewish and pro-Nazi, and that the Nazis welcomed his election as Pope (which we have seen is not true).
And in the history of this debate it has not only been interested Catholics who have defended the Pope, but also many Jews who have wished to uphold the good name of Pius XII and defend his actions at this torrid time in their history.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Martin Luther
Albert of Brandenburg was heavily involved in debt, not, as Protestant and Catholic historians relate, on account of his pallium, but to pay a bribe to an unknown agent in Rome, to buy off a rival, in order that the archbishop might enjoy a plurality of ecclesiastical offices.
The menacing religious war, between the adherents of the "Gospel" and the fictitious Catholic League (15 May, Breslau), ostensibly formed to exterminate the Protestants, which with a suspicious precipitancy on the part of its leader, Landgrave Philip, had actually gone to a formal declaration of war (15 May, 1528), was fortunately averted.
To the hostility of Catholics and Protestants was now added the acrimonious quarrel between the latter and the Zwinglians; the late Diet of Speyer was inoperative, practically a dead letter, the Protestant princes privily and publicly showed a spirit that was not far removed from open rebellion.
