And while this kind of language is militant and weird, it’s not (yet?) a normative…

By Candace E. West

…at, given the things he’s already said (she hoped maybe he’d lose younger, undecided voters by saying he’d “jack up student loan rates or burn down Urban Outfitters or something.”) But there were a couple of more positive less-resigned responses. KW in New Orleans said she’d be “watching to see how persuasive Hillary [would] be to the voters who are considering party hopping, but aren’t totally sold on her,” and in the hopes that Clinton would “ac…

By Kate Childs Graham

…ntrol, and where to purchase contraceptives. Thank goodness CatholicGoogle.com saves us from that blasphemy! The same happened when I searched “stem cell research,” “sex,” “life” and “abortion.” All the articles reinforced the institutional Catholic Church stance on the subjects.

By Andrew Aghapour

…e the cost of a mailed potato). Dumb Cuneiform is also making a sly bit of commentary about online speech. It juxtaposes tweets, which are effortless to write, with a labor-intensive writing practice that was used for thousands of years.

…with her in his heart”—suggest that extramarital sexual thoughts and fantasies count as forbidden sexual activity. While the secular world may view this as a fairly prudish perspective, many evangelicals view it as sinful because God wants Christians to enjoy sex as he created it: in the confines of monogamous, heterosexual matrimony.

…Let’s Go Brandon t-shirt (“Let’s Go Brandon” being code for insulting President Biden). He posted a screenshot of the ad along with a message lamenting the product itself, suggesting that the political sectarianism exemplified by the slogan was why young people were leaving the church.

Pope Tweeted into Retirement

By Rachel Wagner

…n—one of the first troubling commercial agreements between the Vatican and communications companies. For the most part, though, communications technologies at this time seemed a grand and wonderful thing, enabling the sharing of God’s truths with many in an easy and effective way. Interactivity was still relatively limited, and our media mimicked our religion: much of it was still top-down, though change hung in the air. But it’s Benedict who has…

By Julie Ingersoll

…time we write about something extreme, it’s dismissed with “well, every movement has its fringe folks.” I started to write this a week ago but had second thoughts because the whole exchange with Joan seemed like a one-off. Then today Salon.com is reporting that Tea Party Nation leader and founder Judson Phillips is calling for the defeat of Congressman Keith Ellison because he is a Muslim. Tea Party Nation claims 30,000 online members — and no on…

…esent further obstacles to Orthodox unity in America. We can only unite around a common fidelity to the authentic faith and piety of our Tradition. If we are not united in that, then authentic unity is impossible. Mattingly says the Arida essay and comments on it were taken down by Metropolitan Tikhon Mollard. Author Rod Dreher, commenting on the controversy, suggested the emergence of an Orthodox-Evangelical alliance. Here’s how he concludes: I k…
