What Irish Marriage Vote Means for Catholic Church; The Lonely Fight for Equality in Belize; Progress and Backlash in Tunisia; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…in a letter to the New York Times saying that even though he was a visible Irish American he had often felt that he didn’t belong. Irish people from all over the world returned home to vote in this election. I returned to the birthplace of my family to help in any way I could. I feel proud to be Irish in a new way today after the people of Ireland declared that one can be Irish and gay and recognized in loving same-sex relationships. Thank you, Ir…

…rumpian candidate for Congress in 2020. (Feucht will be much in the news in 2024, because of his campaign with Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA youth organization to promote Donald Trump.) Some claim that Feucht is not NAR (or say nothing about his affiliation at all). However a simple look at his bio shows otherwise. Feucht was a volunteer worship leader at Bethel Church, headed by Apostle Bill Johnson, and went on to form his own ministry Burn 2…

As Irish Flee the Church, a Push For Reform

By Diane Winston

…d in the St. Patrick’s Day homily at the local Cathedral, where Martin and Irish president Michael D. Higgins were in attendance. The Mass was entirely in Irish except for the sermon, which was repeated in English. Father Leon O’Giollain began by acknowledging the terrible suffering the Church and its followers had endured as the extent of its sex abuse came to light. Yet despite the quest for justice, individuals needed to forgive if they were to…

UPDATED: Right-sizing the Threat of Political Violence in the 2024 Election — And After

By Steven Gardiner

…at it’s hard to imagine what that could look like. But we should not expect 2024 to be a simple replay of 2020. The flurry of right-wing and far-right mobilizing we saw in 2020, much of it through mainstream social media platforms by Stop the Steal, has thus far not materialized in 2024. Rather than building toward mass protests with potential adjacent violence, far-right organizing has been focused on election officials and poll monitoring, inclu…

First Draft Of History Today Could Be Fox News Promo Tomorrow

By Lauri Lebo

As President Obama signs the health care bill into law today, we are watching the first draft of history. But imagine what students a generation from now will be taught about the most significant overhaul of this nation’s health-care system since Medicare if the conservative activists on the Texas Board of Education are successful at their long-range goal of using the public education system to rewrite history. If publishers kowtow to the board a…

You Can Take The Boy Out of the Crack House: MyPillow CEO’s New Book Promo Has Deep Roots in American Christianity

By Daniel Schultz

…It might as well be as old as Moses, given what a commonplace it is for right-wing Christians. The rest of it is a chestnut of its own. We ought to just be grateful that Lindell isn’t enforcing coronavirus rectitude with a hatchet. (Carrie Nation was also an unabashed self-promoter, by the way.) It’s a strand that goes back to Wesleyan perfectionism and Calvinist propriety, some of the deepest roots of American religion. It may look like faith se…

Irish Vote Reflects Diminished Moral Authority of Catholic Church

By Peter Montgomery

…here were dissenters, of course, including Breda O’Brien, who wrote in the Irish Times that people who voted against are every bit as tolerant and generous as their neighbors, and worried about a yet-to-be-born Irish lass who will love her two moms but long to find out more about her Danish sperm-donor father. The Iona Institute’s David Quinn conceded and congratulated the victors, while saying, “Going forward, we will continue to affirm the impor…
