Conservative Catholic Elites Oppose Trump… as He Rides Catholic Vote to Victory in Michigan

…?) And who were similarly silent when the party tried to capitalize on the coded racism of the anti-Obama forces in 2012 or upend the Affordable Care Act, even though the Catholic Church has been advocating for universal health care since Model Ts were on the road. And it’s even funnier that those who helped put Bush and Cheney in office and watched as they led the nation into endless, unwinnable wars, and justified torture to prevent an ever-pres…

Rick Santorum Figures Out the Feminist Plot to Create “Phony” Abortion Exceptions

…ticular situation. As opposed to, say, legislation that would… well, what? List all of the possible medical conditions in the world that would “count” as being actually deadly enough to warrant legal elective abortion, without missing or failing to consider even one that might someday come up? And, incidentally (we’d further point out), would it be politicians — most of whom have no medical training — crafting this legislation? Or, gosh, would the…

Gun Owners of America Celebrates Defeat of Gun Control Amendments

…istered handguns since the ‘30s, I wonder what they want that registration list for. I think most of the rest of the world has experienced what they want it for. It’s a grab list when the government decides that the subjects are getting a little uppity. A rifle is the emblem of a free man. So what does that make the guy that had his rifle taken away from him? A victim of a coup d’etat. If he was a ruler and he had his gun taken away—we’re the rule…

Satan, Contributor to Teen Vogue‘s New “Sodomy” Section?

…going around. About two centuries later, Thomas Aquinas offers an expanded list of “unnatural” acts for both sexes—a list that becomes authoritative for much of Christian theology. For Thomas, the vice against nature includes masturbation (again), bestiality, same-sex relations (“the sodomitic vice”), and any form of heterosexual activity that makes use of an improper organ or “other monstrous and bestial forms of intercourse.” The last phrase is…

Gay Chutzpah: An LGBT Synagogue Thrives

…me part of the records of our changing world. I assume we all have a short list of ethnographies or other types of scholarship that influenced our professional development and served as models for our later work. On my list I mention, for example, John Middleton’s Lugbara Religion, Victor Turner’s The Forest of Symbols and Esther Newton’s Mother Camp. I hope that some younger anthropologists might find my CBST ethnography a building brick in the i…

Is Army’s New “Humanist” Designation Just Semantic Hooey?

…traditions of naming. But the addition of the Humanist designation to the list of approved faith codes has concrete implications as well. It gives Humanist service members access to Army Chaplaincy services, including spiritual counseling and gathering spaces for Humanist groups. It also means that the numbers and distribution of Humanists in the military can be tracked along with those of other religious groups, potentially inviting a reshaping…

Wichita, the Sequel: A Clinic Reopens at Ground Zero in America’s Fight over Abortion

…forthcoming probes about whether or not the clinic can be cited for minor code violations. With an air of boredom, Newman ran through the list of tactics he’d turn to if he couldn’t prevent the clinic from opening. They’ll run their “Truth Truck”—a large vehicle with side panels covered with images of late-term aborted fetuses—and plant 200 crosses outside the clinic every day. They’ll limit the number of clients willing to enter by making women…

McCain’s VP Courts Conservative Evangelicals

…er judged a vehicle for courting the religious right in psalmic and hymnic code, Palin is delivering a very clear message to religion-savvy listeners, who hear in her call for “servant’s hearts” the message of twenty years’ worth of “complementarian” sermons, exhorting Christians to be “servant-leaders” and, among women, to view their highest calling in service to male leadership: willing helpmeets to their husbands’, fathers’ and pastors’ authori…

Mitt’s Jesus, Barack’s Jesus, and Why Christ’s Color Matters

…often find posters that read: “Obama is not a brown-skinned, anti-war socialist who gives away free health care… you’re thinking of Jesus.” Sometimes these posters are accompanied with Christ’s face with brown features. The important point, in this case, is how racial perspectives are tied to political, military, and social issues: socialism, war, and health care. Regarding Obama versus Romney and their takes on Jesus, President Obama has made it…

Expelled: Christian Student Claims Discrimination, But Judge Says No

…ntended she violated school policy and the American Counseling Association code of ethics. That code, by the way, is clear about what is expected from counselors: Counselors do not condone or engage in discrimination based on age, culture, disability, ethnicity, race, religion/spirituality, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status/partnership, language preference, socioeconomic status, or any basis proscribed by law. Counselors…
