Catholics Across the Globe Reject Vatican’s LGBTQ Cruelty — Others Blame the Sock

…luding Pope Francis who “was informed and gave his assent” to the March 15, 2021 document that set off a firestorm. The Vatican’s ban on same-sex blessings was hardly a surprise to those who keep an eye on all things Roman, as I try to do in this space. What amazes are the many and varied ways some Catholics try to explain and excuse a statement that is perfectly consistent with current institutional church teaching. The welcome surprise is the st…

Gen Z is Turning Away From Religion in Order to Live Out Their Values

…ustice, and more. This is according to The State of Religion & Young People 2021 from Springtide Research Institute, where I serve as Executive Director, which surveyed over 10,000 young people between the ages of 13-25 about their spirituality. This disconnect in values is likely a major reason why, although 71% of young people told us they’re at least slightly religious, only 16% said they turn to someone from their religious community during ch…

UPDATED: The Coup That Never Ends: ‘Whitemanism’ and the Perils of a Flimsy Liberalism

…ovement with respect to how race and class interact in multiple ways. 2. In 2021 “multiracial” can’t mean that people of color and Black people in particular are still expected to shut up about the centuries-long and highly particular injuries of race. Nor should “Multiracial” mean white people get to remain oblivious to the actual history. I cringe a little when white Lefties evoke the glorious days of the 1930s, complete with images of industria…

Atheist Richard Dawkins Swings to Anti-Trans Right in Grasp at Broader Intellectual Relevance

…t Sam Harris and the other New Atheists’ Islamophobia. Pot, meet kettle. In 2021, we find ourselves in a timeline in which Greenwald himself is spreading transphobic rhetoric and granting multiple interviews to Tucker Carlson (whom Greenwald calls a socialist), giving right-wing rhetoric access to his substantial online following. Truly the dangerous death throes of another angry, white male intellectual destroying his own reputation. And, while D…

When Violence is Inevitable: Club Q and the Success of the System

…d fall. Did you know that twice as many transgender people were murdered in 2021 than in 2019? Here’s another fact: Did you know that, contrary to right-wing fears about its ubiquity, fewer than three hundred total teenagers under 18 in the entire country accessed gender-affirming top surgery in the past year? There are approximately three hundred thousand transgender youth in the United States. It’s not just that anti-trans disinformation is fact…

After Roe: 3 Troubling Trends from the ‘Compassionate’ Anti-Abortion Crowd

…ng implemented within our lifetimes. For example, in a commentary from late 2021 anticipating the fall of Roe, Erika Bachiochi, a fellow at the conservative Ethics and Public Policy Center, suggested that somehow, some way, the pro-life movement can compel the Republican Party to bolster the social safety net. Since then, unfortunately, Rick Scott, head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, has put forward a Congressional agenda hellben…

Inspired by the Anti-Abortion Movement and QAnon, Anti-Trans Rhetoric is a Blatant Call for Violence

…26 attempted murders; and between 1977 and 2015 there were 7,200 reported instances of anti-abortion violence. This includes some 200 instances of arson and bombings of abortion clinics. And, even with legislation passed in their favor, the anti-abortion rhetoric hasn’t stopped, including the vilification of doctors, clinic workers, and supporters. The threat of new violence continues. But just like in the abortion debate, it’s clear that the wel…

The Elite Movement Laying the Foundation for a MAGA That Will Outlast Trump and Remake America: Inside NatCon Part I

…NatCon attendees. Undoubtedly, he replies. But while most of the Extremely-Online movements that espouse these ideas, like the white nationalist America First/groyper movement or the neoreactionary ‘Dark Enlightenment’ movement, have been politically marginal and ineffective, the people gathered at NatCon know how to get things done. They understand, as R. puts it, that “you have to try to operate within the rules of the game…you have to try and k…

‘Do They Even Read the Bible?’ — Why Exposing White Evangelical Hypocrisy is a Dead End

…e, Gov. Ron DeSantis’ misquotation of Ephesians 6:11 in a speech in June of 2021, in which he urged, “You got to put on the full armor of God. You got to take a stand—take a stand against the left’s schemes.” The actual verse in Ephesians reads: “Put on the whole armour of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil” (NRSV). DeSantis changed the biblical text in his allusion, equating the US Left with the devil. Few evange…

DeSantis is More Polished and Less Bombastic Than Trump — But is He Less of a Threat to Democracy?

…is often completely untethered from reality. Friedersdorf wrote in October 2021: “(DeSantis) remains a plausibly acceptable candidate for anti-Trump conservatives, in part because winning narrowly in a purple state has all but forced him to moderate his populism.” I’m not sure in which world DeSantis threatening companies with state sanctions, should they take a stand against his discriminatory policies, passing anti-LGBTQ legislation and policin…
