My Business, Myself: Piercing the Corporate Veil

By Howard M. Friedman

…ervices because of the owners’ religious beliefs. That’s the case with Annex Medical. Annex’s owner, Stuart Lind, is a devout Catholic. In 2001, he made a formal commitment to operate his business in accordance with the teachings of Jesus through a Catholic ceremony that consecrated the business to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Like challenges made by other Catholic-owned small businesses, Lind objects to all aspects of the contraceptive coverage man…

Vandalism as Conversation-Starter

By Elizabeth Drescher

…y, then, has to do with a church waking up to a bigger world, a more complex and challenging religiosity, and responding to it with, dare we say, a measure of grace that speaks not merely to angst-ridden teenage taggers, a small parish community, or a rural town, but also to the blur of cars along the highway outside the church, drivers waving and honking as they pass, read the tags, and head down the highway—as well as to the clicks of digital be…

U.S. Bishops Have No Trouble Judging Gays

By Peter Montgomery

…on the bishops would need to come on board, because the letter goes on to explain that, exemptions aside, they oppose ENDA because it “may be invoked by federal courts to support the claim that, as a matter of federal constitutional right, marriage must be redefined to include two persons of the same sex.” And, they say, “As leaders of the Catholic Church, we have a moral obligation to oppose any law that would be so likely to contribute to legal…

Raising Children the Right Way

By Jeffrey Feldman

…dividualism. Dobson’s political rhetoric—whether he is talking about homosexuality, tax policy or foreign wars—ultimately returns to the idea that a strong and moral America depends entirely on families where heterosexual parents use pain to establish authority over their children. The obedient child—specifically the obedient son, as Dobson is much less concerned about women—becomes the essential building block of a God-fearing America. Critics wh…

Christian Nationalism Hurts the Children It Claims to Protect — As Author Lillian Smith Understood 80 Years Ago

By Matthew Teutsch and Emma Williams

…grow up and learn the lessons, they become so entangled in its grasp that extricating themselves from it requires extensive and difficult work. Smith sums this up in Killers of The Dream (1949) where she details a conversation with a camper she’d had as director of Laurel Falls Camp for Girls. The camper, about 17 at the time, confronted Smith one night telling her, “I almost hate you to-night, for letting us fall in love with beliefs that I see n…

Does the Multifaith Model Work?

By Jas Chana

…livered in 2005 to a gathering of Belgian students, NYU’s President John Sexton articulated his vision of a “Second Axial Age,” a revelatory moment in humankind’s evolution in which the idea of the individual will be reconceptualized to “realize a fuller sense of common destiny and responsibility.” Organized religions are crucial to the realization of this vision for, in Sexton’s words, they must necessarily “bring themselves to the kind of openne…

The New Ground Zero on LGBT Rights and Religion

By Sarah Posner

…l fulfillment through multiple partners, with the opposite sex, the same sex, and sex outside of marriage and many other vile, vulgar and inappropriate ways which defile their body – temple and dishonor God.” Reed said the firing wasn’t an issue of religious freedom or free speech, but rather one of judgment. Indeed an internal report released to the media reveals that Reed took action not because of the content of Cochran’s book per se, or even b…

Why Don’t Republicans Want to Allow Pastors to Endorse from Pulpit?

By Daniel Silliman

…voters, the 1954 bill passed by then-Senator Lyndon B. Johnson requiring tax-exempt religious organizations to refrain from politics is often seen as offensive, and understood as an attack directly on the practice of their faith. Republicans currently control both houses of Congress courtesy, in many cases, to these voters. Nor is it just white evangelicals who want churches to get political. More than 40 percent of black Protestants want their pa…

“Those Federer Moments”: Sports, Sex, and the Gender of Grace

By Franklin Strong

…or most of history—limited both that understanding of this beauty and its experience to one sex. (Too often, this understanding has been limited to one race, too, as Claudia Rankine points out in this week in an essay on the unacknowledged grace of Serena Williams.) Historically, women haven’t been supposed to have those dreams. Historically, a woman watching a men’s sporting event was presumed to have a different relationship to what she was seei…

What NOT to Expect from the Pope’s US Visit

By Anthea Butler

…erty, all of his statements come out of Catholic teaching. One should not expect, at least on the surface, any earth-shattering statements about doctrinal issues or specific political issues particular to the American scene. Francis, after all is a head of a global church. So whatever reading is given to his statements, those must not be filtered through popular hope or punditry, but through Catholic teaching. Pope Francis’s straightforward messag…
