Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sir: St Paul's Pharisee colleagues most probably regarded him as having been "massively destabilised" by his experience on the road to Damascus. How else can we see the mental processes by which Fr McGinnitty's sometime seminarian colleagues dismissed his "massive conversion experience" in Medjugorje as "massively destabilising"?

Genuine conversion - which all of us, including lecturers in seminaries probably need - leads to fundamental change. How could a basic reappraisal of attitudes, values and actions not be destabilising of all that needs to be changed?
