How a Catholic-Majority SCOTUS Fulfilled an Evangelical Dream

If Brett Kavanaugh is confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court (and do not doubt that he will be), the country’s highest court will remain, as it has been for over a decade, a majority Catholic institution. It will also mean that, depending on how we count Neil Gorsuch (more on that in a second), there hasn’t been a single Protestant on the Court since the retirement of Justice John Paul Stevens in 2010. Every justice has been and will continue to be…

Is LGBT-Muslim Clash Aiding Rise of Right in Europe?

…ut, which is a fear of change.” The Catholic Church is “ramping up its involvement in the same-sex marriage debate,” reports Emma Reynolds at news.com.au: Sydney Archbishop Anthony Fisher sent hundreds of flyers to city churches and published articles available on many church websites encouraging worshippers to volunteer and donate to the Coalition for Marriage. “Vote No in the Postal Plebiscite on Marriage,” reads an entry in this weekend’s bulle…

From Licking Floors to Praying for an Inept Government, Churches React to C-19

…two, but also voted to continue to allow Alcoholics Anonymous and other twelve-step programs to continue to meet in their building, at those groups’ discretion. And some have a message to deliver: [The Rev. Graylan Hagler] preached a fiery sermon for the small congregation, denouncing the Trump administration for spending money on a border wall while cutting public health teams that might have otherwise been ready to respond to the pandemic. “Yes,…

“Tell Me What You Believe About Ferguson, and I’ll Tell You What You Believe About God”: A Missouri Pilgrimage

…g for someone to see it, for someone to look at something outside of themselves.” A San Francisco native who started out as a youth pastor to at-risk children, McBride now devotes much of his time to combating gun violence and police brutality in Oakland. Ferguson is a sort of mecca for the minister, the birthplace of a new way of resistance and the “most transformative” experience of his life. Before 2014, McBride was not an activist, he explaine…

Why Has the Critique of Hypocrisy Run Out of Steam?

…itique of hypocrisy rests are wielded by bad faith actors who do not themselves share the principles. Like knowledge and facts themselves in our post-truth era, moral principles derive from group identity. For many conservatives, knowledge circulates in what David Roberts calls a “tribal epistemology.” Facts and principles are not higher than the group; they have become subordinated to the Christianized Republican Party, which has its own institut…

Dehumanizing Huckabee Tweet Another Echo of Dangerous Tribalism

There’s a direct line from tribal epistemology to dehumanization and genocide. This morning former governor of Arkansas and avid Trump supporter Mike Huckabee tweeted a picture of gang members and dubbed them Nancy Pelosi’s team “for the take back of the House [of Representatives].” https://twitter.com/GovMikeHuckabee/status/1010497564435730434?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F2018%2F06%2F23%2Fpolitics%2Fmike-huckabee-ms13-…

Trump’s Pathological Devotion to Border Walls Isn’t Political, It’s Theological

…easily cast out his inner circle of white nationalists and Yes Men, he absolved the most notoriously brutal believer in the holiness of the border (and the necessity of violence and humiliation to protect it). Referring to Arpaio’s well-documented criminality as a duty, a calling beyond the law, Trump was simply absolving a holy man doing a profound and sacred duty. And I wish I was kidding when I suggest this, but seeing as the fixation is on lan…

The Battle for the Meaning of Religious Freedom Day

…control what we think or prescribe what was the ‘best’ religion or which people were the ‘best’ citizens based upon their religious beliefs. If people were to make informed political choices themselves, they had to be free to think for themselves, especially about religion. For Jefferson and his supporters, religious freedom for all was central to our democracy….

How a 15th Century Book on Witchcraft Helps Make Sense of Trump’s Bizarre Baby Execution Story

At an otherwise typical rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, this weekend, Trump deviated from his usual incendiary and demonstrably false talking points in order to outline a grotesque murder fantasy: The baby is born. The mother meets with the doctor. They take care of the baby. They wrap the baby beautifully. And then the doctor and the mother determine whether or not they will execute the baby. As he spoke in a slightly lilting tone, he gently mime…
