By Mary E. Hunt

…yer. Just as no one can tell an employee how to invest a salary or spend a bonus, neither can anyone prevent the use of money for birth control that is mandated by law. At the heart of the matter, as I read it, are two fundamental issues. The first is that the concept of religious freedom takes on new meaning in an increasingly secular society.

Memo To Kathleen Parker on ‘Father Sky’ Reference in Tucson Memorial

By Daniel Schultz

…ally? Really? No no, I can top that: “Brother Fire.” Best of all: “Sister Bodily Death.” Who comes up with this crap? Oh, wait. A major Christian saint came up with that crap (Hint: He died in Assisi). As a bonus, he talked about “Mother Earth.” You may find that it’s helpful to know something about a subject before you start talking about it. Just a suggestion. Hugs and kisses, Pastor Dan …

By Sarah Posner

…ire thing; Pierce eviscerates the burgeoning conventional wisdom that Catholics are uniformly as outraged as the Bishops, and that this trumped-up claim of infringement of religious freedom will cost Obama his reelection campaign. And he delves into Catholic theology while he’s at it. Bonus observation: in the most recent ABC News/Washington Post poll, conducted February 1-4, respondents were asked, “How much does it matter to you that a candidate…

By Mary Valle

…hing Christians would generally encourage. So where does one draw the line between “fun” and “evil?” Angie Schuller Wyatt, a third-generation pastor and granddaughter of Robert Schuller, said: I was raised by a pastor, and my parents focused on dressing up, goodies, and family time.

Not gender. The Republicans didn’t need just any woman to compete with Obama for the Wow factor, the Mmm factor, the stable, loving family factor. It is a calculated bonus that…
