To celebrate The Public Eye’s return, Religion Dispatches will present a series of articles from the magazine’s Fall 2023/Winter 2024 issue.

Pat Robertson’s Women Warriors Leading Spiritual Warfare In Zimbabwe

By Sarah Posner

…tars of this Stars and Stripes, however, have been replaced with the Ten Commandments. A young woman gently strums a guitar. The dozen or so people in the room are alternately rapt, singing, and speaking in tongues; their concentration unbroken by a persistently ringing cell phone left in a purse at the back of the room. One by one, the speakers lower themselves into a chair facing Bethlehem (where Bourland also runs a house of prayer on Manger St…

RD News Round-Up—Oct.14, 2008

By Bill Berkowitz

…e law.’” According to the Boston Globe, “The case, Kerrigan v. the state Commissioner of Public Health, was brought by eight same-sex couples who were denied marriage licenses by the Madison town clerk. They argued that the state’s civil union law was discriminatory and unconstitutional because it established a separate and therefore inherently unequal institution for a minority group. Citing equal protection under the law, the state Supreme Court…

“Japan Gave Us Pokemon, God Gave Them an Earthquake”

By Anthea Butler

…d societal ills. Yet social media has made those pronouncements much more immediate. Rather than wait for a religious leader to make the pronouncement, now everyone can carry a virtual sandwich board, crying out that “the end is near.” Twitter then, is the virtual 140-character pulpit, and its pronouncements can make it around the world a lot faster then the static televangelist bully pulpit.

What Color is Vatican Smoke?

By Marian Ronan

…as expanded to include several hundred women priests and bishops and the communities they lead. Pink Smoke is a well-made film, and I found parts of it genuinely moving, especially the testimonies by women priests, bishops, and ordination activists regarding their feelings about being excluded from ordination by the institutional Church. I myself have never felt “called” to ordination but have never doubted the harm this exclusion does to all wome…

Will Women Priests Change the Church?

By Mary E. Hunt

…iests are an oxymoron for the Vatican. It considers them automatically excommunicated before the holy oil is dry on their hands. Other Catholics accept them as sacramental ministers and are delighted with the innovation. Still, others, myself included, want far deeper structural changes in the Catholic Church such that priesthood loses its baked-on charm and ministry becomes the expected task of adult members. This is an important theological conv…

Colbert v. Stewart: It’s On! 10.30.10

By Julie Ingersoll

…des 2010 Election Fox News Plans for both rallies seem rather fluid at the moment: Stewart said, “there might be special guests.” But whatever they do it will be clever; and I wouldn’t be surprised to see the thing take on a life of its own and draw a big crowd. Since the tea party sweep in this week’s primaries, pundits have pondered whether the far right character of the Republican nominees will make them unelectable; thus rescuing Democrats f…

Pseudo-Historian David Barton in the Times and on The Daily Show

By Julie Ingersoll

…believes the public practice of religion should be left up to the local community. Stewart then asks so you believe that “in Dearborn Michigan …where it’s a majority Muslim…you’d be alright with Sharia Law and all that.” Barton said: Sure. But again, this is simply not the case. Have a listen to the fear mongering Islamophobia on his radio show; it’s in his take on the “collision” between Islamic culture and American culture and the “flood of Mus…

The Battle for the Meaning of Religious Freedom Day

By Frederick Clarkson

…luding boilerplate platitudes and cherrypicked historical artifacts as recommended by Project Blitz. But what’s omitted illuminates the intentions of the theocratic Dominionists (notably, David Barton, as we reported in our original story) who have led Project Blitz from the beginning. Their vision of religion is incompatible with most people’s idea of freedom. Left out of the model Religious Freedom Day (RFD) resolution is the recognition that, w…
