By Robert Repino

…s focus from pressuring the Supreme Court to building some kind of abortion-free utopia, where people with unintended pregnancies find the support they need to carry the baby to term.

…ious right to coalesce around a Perry candidacy. But since his spectacular free-fall, some of the most visible promoters of The Response have abandoned him for other candidates: Don Wildmon, the founder of the virulently anti-gay American Family Association, which bankrolled the event, endorsed Newt Gingrich just before the Iowa caucuses. Jim Garlow, the California megachurch pastor who campaigned vigorously for the anti-gay marriage Proposition 8…

By Joanna Brooks

…ackers of the referendum are trumpeting out misleading arguments about same-sex marriage compromising religious freedom. We will counter those with facts. SL: And doctrine too.

By Anthea Butler

…o New Birth back in 2010, when Long promised to fight his civil case, that New Birth was a cult-like organization. Long’s hold over his congregation reminds me of Jim Jones. That may sound harsh, but Jim Jones slept with his members too, before leading the People’s Temple into the jungles of Guyana. Long however, is in interesting historical company. After all, Father Divine called himself God on Earth, and so did Yahweh Ben Yahweh, but Long is ta…

By Aly Marino

…church and state, or his assertion that Employment Division v. Smith, a 30-year-old religious freedom opinion written by no less than ultra-conservative Justice Antonin Scalia, must be overturned. The self-described “most difficult address” of Dallin Oaks’ career wasn’t substantially different from his previous speeches in terms of substance or underlying message; he didn’t announce any changes to LDS policy on LGBTQ+ people, he ignored the exist…

Why the Roman Catholic Church Should Not Ordain Women as Deacons

By Father Anne

…rchy wants to define for women what is proper to women, reiterating the all-too-familiar and troublesome “separate but equal” refrain of complementarity. A servant class of women doing things defined by men for men? History has proven there is serious reason to be concerned about such an arrangement. Frankly, it’s irresponsible and unethical for the Church to place women in this vulnerable position with no representation at the highest levels. Fin…
