…multi-religious graduate school.” Of course, Claremont is not alone. Hartford Seminary boasts the Macdonald Center for the Study of Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations, the country’s oldest center of its kind.

By Robert P. Jones

…introduced the white “discomfort” criteria. Biden repealed this executive order on his first day in office. The Florida bill, like the other bills, is part of a coordinated Frankenstein-style strategy for exhuming and resurrecting Trump’s defunct executive order.

But their political strength remains much greater than their numbers.

By Mary Rambaran-Olm

…ot this one. At times we’re the P**i racial slur. Other times we’re the N-word. Sometimes we’re neither Black enough nor Brown enough at all.

By Peter Schwartz

…s because it obviates the commitment to first principles and to a divinely ordained order on which a theology and philosophy of morality and virtue depends. But the Catholic Church also has built into its DNA an all-consuming survival instinct, an awareness that evolution and entropy also are its enemies as an institution. From this fear, certainly for conservative Catholics, flows a consistently urgent desire to control this flux that is absent f…
