As Irish Flee the Church, a Push For Reform

By Diane Winston

…mban priest, who has written extensively about imminent ecological crises. McDonagh’s archbishop, Diarmuid Martin, is one of the few heroes in the Irish sex abuse scandal. In 2009, Martin opened the diocesan files, enabling victims to seek justice for clerical crimes. His example may not have endeared him to the Vatican, but it did ensure his popularity at home. Yet his overall interest in reform comes nowhere near McDonagh’s or that of Brendan Bu…

Rand Paul: We Wouldn’t Need Laws If Everyone Were Christian

By Sarah Posner

…s thesis as a piece of Christian Reconstructionist thinking, told me after McDonnell omitted mention of slavery from his proclamation of Confederate History Month: I don’t think it is any coincidence that Bob McDonnell dismissed slavery—since [Christian Reconstructionism] thinks slavery is not only permitted by scripture but it a necessary part of an ordered biblical society. And [Christian Reconstructionism] also explains Bob McDonnell’s view on…

Evangelical “Sexual Purity” Is Not About Sex—It’s About Power

By Sara J. Moslener

…I ever started this project I watched Randall Balmer’s interview with Josh McDowell in Balmer’s video series, Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory. In that interview Balmer asks McDowell if it might be problematic to use fear to teach evangelical teenagers about human sexuality. McDowell responds that it’s extremely important to utilize fear because the alternative to heeding the message is so much worse. All this to say, when I use the term “fear-based…

What Get Religion Doesn’t Get About “Monk” Class

By Anthea Butler

…disciplines: It was designed that way. The AP reporter interviewed Justin McDaniel for an hour, and attended a class session prior to writing the article. She did not leave anything out. The religion story is in the article. It is not a ghost. Problem is, it isn’t the religion story Mattingly wants it to be. Mattingly’s jaundiced journalistic eye can’t see past the word Monk being disassociated from a religious tradition. In other words, his whol…

Evangelicals Clutching Pearls Over Student Debt Relief: Lord Have Mercy!

By Peter Laarman

…from the Hebrew Bible—or the Old Testament as CT prefers to call it. Then McDade cites the reactions of three guys. The first, an Anglican priest from Indiana, is all in on debt forgiveness. This guy actually does quote Jesus a lot. The second guy, from the Cato Institute (that well-known Christian organization), says that you can’t apply biblical texts related to an ancient agrarian society to our situation. The third guy, who works for a Washin…

Evangelical PR Blitz Before Midterms Won’t Fix the ‘81% Problem’

By Chrissy Stroop

…ic reasons, or to have simply voted “against Hillary Clinton.” Stetzer and McDonald also awkwardly try to argue that abortion and the Supreme Court were not key reasons for white evangelical Trump support, despite noting that abortion is a critical reason many white evangelicals categorically refuse to vote for Democrats. The Billy Graham Center/LifeWay study attempts to get results similar to Ekins’ on race by differentiating between self-identif…

Tea Party Rhetoric: Literal Slavery Not So Bad

By Julie Ingersoll

…cDowell’s, drawn almost entirely from Rushdoony’s work in the early 1960s. McDowell’s discussion of slavery, written in 2003, comes from Rushdoony’s more familiar Institutes of Biblical Law… (that) …promotes a “biblical worldview” in which slavery is in some circumstances acceptable. This worldview (like his discussion of the three-fifths rule, which minimizes the rule’s dehumanization of slaves) diminishes the dehumanization of slavery in general…

The Porn Workaround: How Christian Sexuality Websites Avoid Sin

By Kelsy Burke

…astors. Not surprisingly, the findings support the story evangelicals like McDowell have long been telling: that the sexual morality of Americans—including many self-proclaimed Christians—is going down the drain. According to the study, Americans are not bothered by pornography and pornography use (although the survey’s wording implies they should be, describing it as a “struggle” throughout the report): Ninety percent of teens and 96 percent of y…

How Trump’s Assertion of “Power to Pardon” Tramples the American Sacred

By Spencer Dew

…o Tyrants is Obedience to God.” To whom did the Founders appeal? As Walter McDougall writes in his excellent history of American civil religion, The Tragedy of U.S. Foreign Policy: “The American God had no name and a hundred names.” McDougall argues that the generic quality of the deity—and the wide definition of that concept—proved essential for uniting and maintaining the nation, creating a shared civil religion overlapping with but broader than…

Gambian Leaders Portray Anti-Gay Law as Defense of Islam, Ugandan Politicians as ‘Christmas Gift’; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…ry of Gender and Child Development Raziah Ahmed, and Opposition MP Marlene McDonald, both of whom shared the Archbishop’s sentiments.” ‘All children have the right to care, love, support and interventions where needed in keeping with the rights of the child,’ Ahmed told Newsday. ‘I don’t think that anybody should be thrown out because of their sexual orientation,’ McDonald said, ‘Not at all.’ ‘I do not subscribe to discrimination because of your s…
