By Joanna Brooks

…s said on NPR that the Church tends “to look outside of themselves for the answers. The answers are inside. They’re internal… To say that the social revolution or Woodstock or any other external influence on the Catholic Church is the reason is just absurd.” Hoatson and others point to the interior and intransparent culture of power in the Church hierarchy as a primary force in the persistence of child sexual abuse by priests. There is a lot wrong…

Tim Pawlenty, Bad Fundamentalist

By Michael J. Altman

…aritable organizations, and also reaching out and helping somebody on a one-on-one basis. Recently, Alabama governor Robert Bentley spoke at a Baptist church about accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior, and then said, “I’m telling you, you’re not my brother and you’re not my sister and I want to be your brother.” How does someone balance being evangelistic while also having the obligation of a governor representing a religiously diverse state?

By Peter Montgomery

…dents of the small village of Wonosobo could be immediately reached by BuzzFeed News to confirm the report, but the police account suggests that this was not a “same-sex wedding.” Instead it appears to be the attempt of a trans woman known as Andini Budi Sutrisno to marry a man named Didik Suseno.

CPCs Hire Christians Only With Federal Funds? Thank Obama

By Sarah Posner

…has refused to eliminate the hiring rule, opting instead for a vague “case-by-case” look at whether there has been discrimination in hiring or firing. What’s more, on the campaign trail he promised to strengthen constitutional protections in faith-based funding, but as the ACLU’s Dena Sher pointed out just last week, promised protocols to ensure that the constitutional rights of citizens served by taxpayer-funded faith-based organizations are pro…

Reclaiming My Time: Maxine Waters, the Sabbath and the High Holy Days

By J. Dana Trent

…The more people tune in, working and watching, the stronger the machine becomes. Judaism is no stranger to reclaiming its time. Shabbat and the High Holy Days do not contribute to capitalism—they transcend it. This year, September 21st marks the start of Tishrei, a month that includes the two High Holy Days, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. These yom tov (good days), where none of the 39 categories of work is permitted, echo the ancient and modern c…

By Annika Brockschmidt

…so raise taxes for more than half of Americans including pensioners and low-income people—harking back to Mitt Romney’s ’47-percent’ comment in 2012. After criticism from Jen Psaki and Chuck Schumer, Scott sat with Sean Hannity for a softball-interview during which he denied that his plan included any tax hikes—a lie that Hannity happily let slide. The tax hike, Scott claims in the document, would be necessary to “grow America’s economy, starve Wa…

By Brad R. Braxton

…ge.” Christian scriptures also inform my thoughts about speech ethics. The New Testament Book of James, for example, warns believers, and especially leaders, about the lethal consequences of an unbridled tongue: Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers and sisters, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness….The tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great exploits. How great a forest is set ablaze by a sm…

American Jews: From Holocaust to New Age Hasidism?

By Martin Kavka

…enter of contemporary Jewish life. Like Fackenheim, Shaul Magid begins his new book, American Post-Judaism, on a sociological note. Given the rate of intermarriage among Jewish Americans and the ways in which American culture no longer is content with prescripted roles for varying ethnic groups, Magid infers that American Jews now live in a postethnic culture. The ways in which Jews perform their particularism vary widely. In one way or another, a…

“Mad to Be Saved”: On the Road as Cautionary Tale

By Jay Michaelson

…e). In the book, it’s almost an incantation, part of a paean to freedom in newly-postwar America. The country is settling down, and Kerouac’s circle, led by Neal Cassady/Dean Moriarty, is hitting the road. “Somewhere along the line I knew there’d be girls, visions, everything,” Kerouac writes. “Somewhere along the line, the pearl would be handed to me.” The religious dimension of this quest is obvious; they’re looking for visions, for the pearl, f…
