Expansion of “Conscience Clause” Could Redefine Birth Control as Abortion

By Kathryn Joyce

…to note that the Department does not intend for this to be a comprehensive list of relevant organizations for purposes of the regulation, but merely a list of examples. Building on this broad definition, we propose that the term “health service program” should be understood to include an activity related in any way to providing medicine, health care, or any other service related to health or wellness, including programs where the Department provid…

Duggar Daughters Talk Sex, Courtship, and Fear of Ungodly Men

By Myev Rees

…n in his life by containing himself. The Duggar daughters offer a detailed list of qualities they are looking for, and the vast majority of them—not being addicted to alcohol, drugs or pornography for example—reveal a fairly low bar and an emphasis on self-control. Godly women on the other hand have a considerably more extensive list of requirements. Women are presumed to be inherently more controlled, so their baseline for virtue is higher. The G…

How Religion Shapes (or Doesn’t) Our Views on Public Issues

By Daniel Schultz

…. What does work? Not much, it would seem. At least not when it comes to the subjects Pew chose to poll. But go back and take a look at the list of voter priorities: 90% say the economy is a “very important” topic. 88% jobs, 78% health care. Get the hint? And that’s with a forced-choice list. If you asked respondents to come up with their own list, it might be even more lopsided. Preachers who want to know what’s on the mind of their congregations…

Anonymous Utah Group Distributes Vigilante “Illegal Immigrant” Watchlist

By Joanna Brooks

…social security numbers, names of children, and, for pregnant women on the list, due dates. The list was originally sent to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement in April, but when no response was observed Concern Citizens sent the list to a number of Utah sheriffs, police chiefs, legislators, and media outlets. Governor Gary Herbert has called for an investigation to determine if state records were improperly accessed to compile the list. In Uta…

Ignore the Rod: the Parental Rights Amendment Isn’t About Spanking

…the bill), have created their own Web site, parentalrights.org, where they list their largely conservative Christian allies: the American Family Association, the American Family Rights Association (an anti-Child Protective Services outfit), the anti-abortion Children of God for Life, the anti-contraception Christian Medical and Dental Association, Concerned Women of America, Eagle Forum, Focus on the Family Action, Gun Owners of America, Renew Ame…

The Bible May Be Stranger Than You Think … And Why It Matters

By Kristin Swenson

…y 5:6-18; arguably also Leviticus 19:1-36). What’s more, the only biblical list of laws that appears within English translations by the moniker “the Ten Commandments” is yet another list (now we’re up to four) and bears little resemblance to the others (Exodus 34:10-28). I point this out not to exasperate but as one among many possible examples reminding all of us that the Bible actively resists literalistic application. On the contrary, the Bible…

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

By Patricia Miller

…?) 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…

Common Ground: Winning the Battle, Losing the Culture War

By Chip Berlet

…e of faith or who are hostile to religion. This myth is most significantly promoted by Jim Wallis (without any documentation), who uses it to posit himself as a player inside the Beltway. Progressive Idealists are critical of Wallis because of his firm opposition to abortion and his hostility to gay rights. At Talk to Action where I blog, we take the position that progressive people of faith agree on three issues which for us are settled questions…

Touch Me, Man, I’m Healed, I’m Straight

…with other programs, such as various 12-step programs. It’s an information list of resources, not an endorsement list. However, when I attended JiM, staff passed out a stapled packet with “suggestions for follow-up and support.” The packet reveals that Wyler’s organization holds another retreat called The Journey Beyond, “an advanced training for men who have completed both the Journey into Manhood and the New Warrior Training Adventure.” In 2002,…

I’m Too Sexy for My Church: Will a Thriving Singles Scene Renew American Catholicism?

By Megan Sweas

…ce activities to social events. YMA now has 700 active people on its email list. Young adult groups can give the sense that the church wants to marry people off so they will have Catholic babies, but Jarzembowski says this is a misperception. He notes that the Catholic Church defines the young adult years—ages 19 to 39—as a time of transition, not only to marriage but also to school, first jobs, new cities and so on. Indeed, marriage has changed d…
