By Sarah Posner

…al sparked there: Howard-Browne is the pastor of The River at Tampa Bay, a high-energy, racially-mixed church in Temple Terrace he founded in December 1996. Nearly 1,000 people spend about four hours in a service led by “the Holy Ghost bartender,” as he is known. Here, he serves the new wine of Christ, and they get drunk with joy. It’s not uncommon for worshipers to break into uncontrollable “holy laughter,” shaking with mirth, dancing in the aisl…

By Philip Clayton

…eaching, research, ministry, and service.” Why would this relatively benign-sounding news frighten conservatives so deeply? Yet resistance from the Christian Right has already been swift and strong. Even prior to the June 9th announcement, conservative protests within the United Methodist Church led to a withholding of operating funds for Claremont (about $800,000 a year). Mark Tooley, President of the Institute on Religion and Democracy, bemoans…

Wesolowski Sexual Abuse Case a New Approach or Same Old Same Old?

By Mary E. Hunt

…offers many insights into how the Roman world works. Vatican officials protest too much when they speak of a new approach, showing how seriously they take clergy sexual abuse. The Archbishop was “whisked away by the Vatican” so as to avoid trial in the venue where he’s alleged to have committed the crimes. That act reflected the same old same old approach to clergy sexual abuse under Pope Francis as under his predecessors until, as I read it, pub…

Why Don’t White People Show Up For Juneteenth The Way They Showed Up For George Floyd?

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…t. Patrick’s Day parade but not at a Juneteenth festival in one that says “Free-ish since 1865.” Again, the issues of race and slavery prevent this level of ethno-racial cosplay that we so frequently witness around White ethnic and patriotic celebrations in this nation. Not to mention the ever-present charge of cultural (mis)appropriation that’s leveled at any display of cross-cultural participation that makes attendance at Juneteenth festivals tr…

Praying for a Victory: Packed Supreme Court Takes Up Yet Another Christian Nationalist Cause

By Andrew L. Seidel

…es” but wants Christian supremacy, which the Institute wraps in “religious freedom” claims that average Americans understand as equality. It’s fought to keep evolution out of public schools; and put Bible classes, Jesus portraits, and school-imposed prayer in public schools. That last effort is what Kennedy v. Bremerton School District is all about. I first wrote about this case back in 2015, focusing on how the Institute doesn’t mind taking losin…

Is Cardinal Dolan’s Pro-Life Piece More Evidence of Pro-Catholic Bias from RNS Publisher?

By Evan Derkacz

…meddling, which played a significant role in the firing of respected editor-in-chief Jerome Socolovsky and the subsequent resignations of veteran reporters Kimberly Winston and Lauren Markoe, focused on the institutional Catholic Church. Corroborated by emails and testimony from both current and former staff, notable examples include: siding with the Chicago archdiocese’s complaints over his own staff’s reporting; the issuance of an unusually larg…

Introducing the Dr. Who Media Club

By James F. McGrath

…ckground: The Doctor (his name does not seem to actually be “Who”) is a 917-year-old Time Lord, an alien time traveler. His time machine is the Tardis, which looks like a police box—think phone booth—but it’s bigger on the inside than the outside, can fly, and may actually be a living creature. He adventures through time and space, usually accompanied by one or more human companions who assist him in righting wrongs, liberating the oppressed, figh…

Neither Radical Nor Secular: The West Struggles with the New Islamism

By Blain Auer

…ken place, the conditions for the current revolutions had long been set: income inequality, unemployment, inflation, state repression, and changing demographics in a youth boom. The question was not if, it was when. Now that it has happened, one of the major questions being raised—with anxiety in some quarters and great excitement in others—is what role will religion play in the rapidly transforming Middle East? This is a thorny question, primaril…

What Do Islamophobes Have in Common with the Taliban?

By John Feffer

…for Jews during this period. Likewise, I thought it was important for a non-Muslim to write a book about Islamophobia for the general reader. What’s the most important take-home message for readers? The Taliban and the Islamophobes have a very similar reading of Islam, and their political fates are in part dependent on this shared understanding of the religion. Those of us in the vast middle between these two extremes can take very concrete steps…

Catholics for Choice Blasts New Proposed Contraception Coverage Rule

By Sarah Posner

…organizations, she said, to self-certify that they are entitled to the work-around, or accommodation, that places the onus of providing and paying for the contraception coverage on the insurance company. Hutchinson said she was “dubious, maybe cynical, about how easy and how smooth the process of making sure the folks who do need, the employees who are under accommodated employers will actually work.” O’Brien said it was “good news” that women w…
