Russell Moore Claims There’s a Crisis in Evangelical America — But White Evangelicalism is Exactly Where it Wants to Be

…n the country, the Southern Baptist Convention, before he was pushed out in 2021 for criticizing Donald Trump. Since then, Moore has rebranded himself as defender of the soul of evangelical Protestantism. But his gambit depends on something important: that the broad public doesn’t know much about conservative religion. Moore wants us to believe that “Christianity is in crisis.” But it’s not in crisis—not for the reasons that he claims it is. Nor i…

Why the Roman Catholic Church Should Not Ordain Women as Deacons

…ough the Synod on Synodality, which was launched by Pope Francis in October 2021. While the document Enlarge the Space of Your Tent notes that the synodal process unearthed a near universal call from around the world for women deacons, it also notes that some parts of the world are also calling for women priests. If both priesthood and the diaconate are officially open for discernment, then why is the discussion about female deacons getting far mo…

‘How Pentecostal Christianity Is Taking Over the World’: An Interview with Author Elle Hardy

…tructures, such as the Family Research Council. Pentecostals might get involved with such groups too, but they’re also out there doing their own thing. They take the view that we’re in God’s advancing kingdom—go out there and do whatever you can. Prayer walk through the red-light district to cast out the demons; stop that woman in her wheelchair and command her to be healed in Jesus’ name. There’s also a spirit of innovation at play. Leaders of ma…

The White Nationalist Fringe Just Took a Giant Step Closer to the Center of the GOP

…casio-Cortez, and attacking Joe Biden with two swords. That was in November 2021. No real consequences from McCarthy and the GOP followed. Gosar was eventually censured and stripped of his committee assignments, with only two Republicans siding with the Democrats. This wasn’t Gosar’s first experience with AFPAC—he’d participated in person in the past. In total, four elected Republican officials participated in this year’s AFPAC, with Idaho Lt. Gov…

The Vatican ‘Doubts’ Same-Sex Love, But More Doubt The Vatican

…esponse” was a clear, clipped “Negative.” The Responsum, dated February 22, 2021, was signed by Luis F. Cardinal Ladria the Prefect, and Archbishop Giacomo Morandi, the Secretary of the CDF with the explicit approval of Pope Francis, of whom many hoped for better. The rest of the short document was an Explanatory Note, footnotes to other Vatican documents, and a Commentary as if somehow no did not mean no. The backstory: Some German bishops, among…

Biden’s New Domestic Terrorism Strategy Addresses Trump’s Omission of White Nationalism, But Fails to Address Targeting of Black and Brown Americans

…Countering Domestic Terrorism. With an initial summary released in March of 2021, the full report is in response to the January 6th insurrection and the subsequent order by President Biden for intelligence and law enforcement agencies to comprehensively assess the scope of domestic terrorism in the United States in 100 days. The result is a four-pillared strategy to tackle the “most lethal” terrorist threat today, which is defined as “extremists w…

UPDATED: The Coup That Never Ends: ‘Whitemanism’ and the Perils of a Flimsy Liberalism

…t the thorny challenges we face in the public sphere will just have to resolve themselves. Many of us who are white have a degree of wealth to preserve and to pass on, and those who are old can hear Time’s winged chariot hovering nearby. We’ve just been through an anxious moment with Covid and with Trump, and now we would prefer to see all the bad things recede in the rear-view mirror. If only we could afford this luxury! And how pathetic for so m…

Are We Seeing the End of the ‘Good Arabs’ in Israel?

…cades to erase. Hope is not lost. As riots rage and hatred flares, there are Israeli Jews and Arabs, hundreds, maybe thousands, talking, embracing, and exchanging flowers. Human empathy can sometimes cut through discriminatory policies. But those policies remain and while empathy may be a salve it’s not a cure. Hopefully, this troubling Arab Israeli insurrection will make the powers in Israel recognize that the occupation is not the only problem….

Bishops’ Attempt to Deny Communion to Biden Will Backfire Even More Spectacularly Than Opposition to Same-Sex Marriage

…Mr. Biden has any after-retirement aspirations to become a bishop. In June 2021, the bishops will vote on whether to delve more deeply into these issues. Odds are they will continue their quest. But whether they can muster a large enough majority on the anti-side of the communion wars is less clear. What makes the possibility more remote is that a strong voice against the reality of Catholic diversity is the same San Francisco Archbishop Salvator…
