What Facebook Unwittingly Reveals in its Ban of LifeSiteNews for Covid Misinformation

…nce since 2010, the torrent of bills introduced this year is staggering and 2021 is on track to be the most hostile year on record toward women. These laws are not just interfering with women’s access to abortion care (which would be bad enough!) but are actively harming women by shutting down clinics; using scare tactics to threaten and pressure them into not having abortions; and codifying narrow, theologically-driven ideas about when life begin…

Catholics Across the Globe Reject Vatican’s LGBTQ Cruelty — Others Blame the Sock

…luding Pope Francis who “was informed and gave his assent” to the March 15, 2021 document that set off a firestorm. The Vatican’s ban on same-sex blessings was hardly a surprise to those who keep an eye on all things Roman, as I try to do in this space. What amazes are the many and varied ways some Catholics try to explain and excuse a statement that is perfectly consistent with current institutional church teaching. The welcome surprise is the st…

Beverly Cleary, Author of the Ramona Series, Understood Children, Shoes, School, Words, and How it Feels to be Heard, or Misunderstood

…hared the New York Times obituary for Beverly Cleary, who died on March 25, 2021. When a friend noted that, to be fair, Cleary had lived to see 104, Jones wrote back: “I know, the cursing is not a rational reaction. STILL.” Beverly Cleary would understand. After promising a quick turn-around on this essay, I went to the shelf, scanning for the Ramona books. I knew exactly where they were. Except they weren’t. They’d been packed up for college. Bec…

How the Christian Nationalist Version of ‘The American Story’ Enabled Georgia’s Anti-Black Voter Restriction Law [Audio]

Last week, Georgia Republicans passed a radical new law designed, as the New York Times put it, “to restrict voting access in the state.” The bill, which some have referred to as Jim Crow 2.0 for the disproportionate effect it will have on Black voters, was signed by a white governor surrounded by six white men beneath a painting of a former slave plantation. In this exclusive three-minute clip from the March 26 episode of Straight White American…

Purity Culture is Also About National Purity: Anti-Asian Hate and Purity Culture [Audio]

…se situations are not nuanced. And so do they care if the Asian people involved are Korean or Vietnamese or Japanese, et cetera? They don’t. What they hear is their president, Donald Trump and other leaders saying things like ‘Chinese Flu’ and ‘Kung Flu’ and so, or ‘China Virus.’ And so they lash out and they take their aim at Asian people. All of this leads me back to Christian nationalism. What I wrote on Twitter this morning was “Purity culture…

I’m Not Here to Fix Evangelicals, But to Show Them Who They Are: An Interview With the Author of ‘White Evangelical Racism’

…y of racism within evangelicalism, America, or how the denominations themselves don’t want to interrogate the structural racism that continues to proliferate in their ranks. You’ve commented on Twitter that you were writing with “respectable” evangelicals like Michael Gerson in mind. What makes you think there’s anything reformable, salvageable, or worth saving, in evangelicalism? And do you think hand-wringers like Gerson and Peter Wehner represe…

New Patriarch, Same Patriarchy: Despite Glowing Praise For New SBC President, There’s Just One Problem

…the midst of tense debates around race, gender, and partisan politics, the 2021 Southern Baptist Convention made waves by narrowly electing Ed Litton, a white Alabama pastor known for his commitment to racial reconciliation, to serve as its new president. Litton beat out his opponent, far-right Georgia pastor Mike Stone, by fewer than 600 of over 13,000 votes in a runoff election that many believed would be a turning point for a denomination look…

The Problem With An Evangelical Petition Calling White Nationalism ‘Heresy’

…h fruit in such numbers. That some evangelicals now wish to separate themselves from what their faith tradition has devolved into is well and good, but we shouldn’t kid ourselves about the ways that same tradition fostered the very problems to which critics now object. Second, properly speaking the problem isn’t heresy, it’s idolatry. Heresy has to do with ideas contrary to the received truth of the faith—and indeed, the people calling for a chall…

‘The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’ Has a ‘Real Religion’ Problem

…expect the real from reality television? Do we not, in the year of our lord 2021, know better than this? Shouldn’t our immersion in this genre, ironic or not, have taught us about the bankruptcy of the concept of the real? To judge the Mormon-ness or Muslim-ness of the cast members of RHOSLC is to miss the point entirely, exposing a commitment to policing religion and confining it to a particular pasture of the public sphere. Enforcement and autho…
