By Anthea Butler

…ia. Chaput, a culture warrior, is on center stage as the Pope and the WMOF come to town.

By Eboo Patel

…e that secular modernity is marginalizing his identity, and that all those comfortable with the current system are complicit in his marginalization? This would probably include the majority of the passengers on the airplane. Perhaps the central difference is that religion is a choice.
