An Open Letter to CEO Jeff Smisek On United Airlines’ Blasphemous Safety Video

By Austin Dacey

…disgruntled customer. It is a witness to an abomination. It is a plea for spiritual recompense. In the video message that was played before my last United Airlines flight, you expressed your desire to greet each and every passenger; you invited us to sit back, relax, and enjoy the flight. If I could greet you now, I would want to know: were you unaware of the monstrosity that was about to follow? There, rising above the hiss of the pressurized ai…

Caste First, Christ Second, for Some Indian Christians

By Megan Sweas

…Caesar Thomas of the National Council of Dalit Christians doesn’t need the reservation system. A fourth-generation Catholic and son of a teacher, he was educated as an engineer and lawyer. But when he was working in recruiting at Indian Railways, he noticed a pattern. “With my own eyes, I saw how Dalit Christian applications were rejected, whereas our Hindu Dalit brothers, their sons and daughters, they came through the reservation,” he says. Thom…

First U.S. Visit of the Virgin Mary Confirmed in Wisconsin

By Lewis Wallace

…ike a parking lot. It might look to Lourdes to improve its website: on the official site for the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, visitor FAQs tell you how to get to Lourdes, how to get your hands on some holy water from the grotto, and how to leave an ex-voto offering (look elsewhere for hotel bookings—there are dozens of hotels in Lourdes, all advertising their proximity in meters and yards to the grotto). If you can’t travel, stay on the websi…

Evangelical Tells Beck He’s “Off The Reservation”

By Julie Ingersoll

…him to those on which they cannot. Howse points to the links on Beck’s website that he claims deceptively lead Christians into spiritually dangerous territory; links such as Glenn’s Divine Destiny, and encouragement to “join Glenn in morning prayer” with his Daily Spiritual Thought. Beck’s friend and sometimes sidekick, David Barton, later came to his defense, saying he was more Christian than Nancy Pelosi, Bill Clinton, Jim Wallis, or Joel Hunte…

The Key to Understanding the Federalist Society Isn’t Originalism — It’s This 800-Year Old Tradition

By Peter Schwartz

…pter of Columbia University Law School. The Federalist Society never takes official positions on matters of jurisprudence and legal reasoning. It never participates in court proceedings, submits no amicus briefs and never serves as legal counsel. Which leads to the insistent claims of legal conservatives that the organization and its originalist methods are politically and substantively neutral. Of course, there’s more than a little bait-and-switc…

Porn-Again Christians: What Happens When a Biblical Literalist Launches a Sex Site?

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…r, for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Christians. I don’t think my site was on the web for five minutes before I started receiving hate mail demanding that I take the site down because it was an affront to God. I was told then, and many still say even today, that there’s no such thing as a “gay Christian” because the two are mutually exclusive. I developed a fairly deep and sophisticated theology around why being gay (or lesbian, or bi, or…

Death in the Desert: Riding With the Samaritans

By Lauri Lebo

…hed immigrants into more rugged regions further west on the Tohono O’odham reservation. The increase in deaths coincides with Arizona’s recent bitter legal fight over HB 1070, the law signed in April which places the burden on individuals to prove they are in the country legally and preempts federal authority in enforcing immigration law. A federal judge issued an injunction in July against most of the law’s provisions until its constitutionality…

Why Crux‘s Knights of Columbus “Partnership” is Problematic

By Kaya Oakes

…’s reputation for fierce honesty in its church coverage helped bolster the site, and Allen’s decades of experience, coupled with the skill of its writing staff, made the site an important voice. In the small hive that is Catholic journalism, Crux had a lot of buzz. What it did not have was a lot of money. The Globe’s strategy was to hopefully attract what editor Brian McGrory described as “big-ticket, Catholic-based advertisers.” But those adverti…

Lila Rose Targets Planned Parenthood with Lies

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…sing, or only truthful in a verrrry technical sense. Discussions of mental reservation can quickly become bogged down in technicalities, but imagine a latchkey kid saying “I’m sorry, my mom can’t come to the phone right now” instead of “Nope! I’m home alone and defenseless!” and you’ve got the basic idea. Not surprisingly, though, a lot of the people who are most particular about Catholic teaching—people otherwise likely to be sympathetic to Rose’…

In the Aftermath of the “Himalayan Tsunami”

By Luke Whitmore

…ven when the road was near a river. Kedarnath saw the building of new cell phone towers, a railway reservation office, helicopter landing pads, lodges with hot water available in the room. Prices soared. When a wave of water and rock crashed down upon Kedarnath last month it crashed down upon a site bursting at the seams—had this event happened twenty years ago deaths and destruction would have been far, far less. This disaster feels to me like th…
