…ons that would take issue with being labeled less-than-orthodox. And even relatively conservative Catholics like the newly-minted Pope Francis would agree that the “Christian moral code” involves a commitment to peace and social justice, which Eberstadt seems to ignore in favor of questions of sexual morality. (To be fair, Simon didn’t ask her about such issues.) But the heart of Eberstadt’s argument is demographics, and just about every piece of…

John McCain: No God But Country

By Kathryn Lofton

…is survival, bound and tied, long ago—is a testimony to Jesus’ mercy. We feel better believing that nobody would ever, or could ever, lie about loving God, or lie about loving Christ. And despite our own schismatic compulsions (in daily life, in sectarian divide), we like to believe that all denominations look the same in the dark.

Are We Living in a Simulation? Bad Religion, Bad Media Combine in New Doc, ‘A Glitch in the Matrix’

By Shannon Trosper Schorey

…to a dialogue about embodied empathy. It’s nice to think about, but ultimately feels like coming up short. If the topic is abuse, let’s ask better questions. We owe it to the 10 million underserved and understudied women and men who are abused each year. If the topic is simulation theory, what if, instead, we asked about the kinds of work this theory is doing, for whom, and how? What kinds of bodies and minds simulation theory upholds as normative…

By Patricia Miller

…couple of election cycles have demonstrated, the evangelical vote doesn’t deliver the general election. If it did, we would have Mitt Romney in the White House. But the Catholic vote does.

Bush, and tried to shove Romney down the nation’s throat, is in a full-fledged panic that white, Catholic, working-class voters might throw their suppor…

The Hypocrisy in Protests against Ultra-Orthodox in Israel

By Shaul Magid

…ering in light of haredi responses to Modern Orthodoxy’s accommodationist religiosity. The modern religious community claims the haredi readings are antiquated. That may be true. But they fail to see the ways in which the Judaism they defend is structurally, albeit not always practically, identical to the Judaism they criticize. Many of the same individuals protesting against the segregationist beliefs of the Beit Shemesh haredim pray in synagogue…

By Jay Michaelson

…ike him are in charge, free enterprise reigns, and those who are weak deserve the suffering they get. While preaching compassion, Romney exuded the cool confidence and blithe disinterest that served him well as a venture capitalist and endears him to libertarians.

Museum of (In)tolerance for Divided City

By Shalom Goldman

…ed view of Jerusalem favors the perception that Jerusalem “belongs” to Israel. Israel’s leadership, beginning with its first Prime Minister, David Ben Gurion, has always been acutely aware of this “biblical” worldview of Jerusalem and cultivates it continually. In 2000, at the United Nations “Millennium Summit,” then Prime Minister Ehud Barak made the case for continued Israeli control over all of the holy city, east and west. Very astutely, and u…
