By Joseph Laycock

…er Blatty was a Catholic and his 1971 novel The Exorcist was inspired by a Washington Post account of a Catholic exorcism. He was also tutored in demonology by his former teacher, Jesuit Thomas Bermingham, who didn’t want him to write “another Rosemary’s Baby.” Green’s film all but removes the Catholic Church: Despite overwhelming evidence that two young girls have been possessed, the diocese refuses to intervene, leaving two families and their ne…

By Emma Cieslik

…displayed them at an event that was co-sponsored with Youth for Christ in Washington DC. They were put on little stakes and tapped into the lawn of the National Mall. So, there’s an image of this lawn with all these cards, and then behind it, the Capitol building, right? So, [my producer] Brad and I actually start with that image. Already the question of White Christian nationalism looms really, really large. Why is this a national issue? Because…

Arrests Made in Murders of Atheist Bloggers in Bangladesh, But Int’l Response to Violence Remains Anemic

By Murali Balaji

…down on Bengali nationalists in East Pakistan clamoring for independence, Washington, D.C. remained silent. U.S. Consul General in Dhaka Archer Blood repeatedly urged President Richard Nixon and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to intervene.

The Washington Post’s Michelle Boorstein notes: The news Tuesday follows the announcement by Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput that people advocating for gay equality would not be given a platform at the World Meeting of Families, a once-every-three-years global meeting about family issues in the church. The issue shows the complex balancing act for the church as Francis c…

…n nearly every manner. They usually originate with elites in the media, in Washington, D.C., and in Hollywood.” It is rather amazing that only two words in the above passage have been changed. There’s a reason why the Netanyahu administration’s preferred partners in the United States do not have the support of the majority of American Jews. Like American Muslims, they see right-wing racism up close and personal, and run far, far away in the other…

Each of these drones had targets they were locked on and I knew that most of the targets were political targets, unrighteous rulers, people that had partnered with the Enemy and his agenda; people within the system that had compromised and that so had sold America out; these were being eliminated, removed from their offices and their voices were rendered helpless.” He n…
