Sarah Palin: Obama Wants to Make White People Slaves

…ake drums of scandal even after his death. Palin’s offensive word salad on Sean Hannity was a Tour de farce in her attempt to turn people away from the HBO movie Game Change which focuses in on the choice of Palin as the vice presidential candidate and the trouble that ensued from bringing her on the Republican Ticket. Palin has been in full-tilt mode, bringing out her supporters to condemn the movie, in an attempt to deflect the depiction of her…

The Key to Understanding the Federalist Society Isn’t Originalism — It’s This 800-Year Old Tradition

…notions of “human dignity” and “human flourishing,” Catholic natural law—an 800-year-old tradition dating back to Thomas Aquinas—is a lens that offers utter clarity to conservative Catholic jurists, activists, policymakers, and scholars as they observe, describe, and engage the world. The power and sharpness of this lens allow them to confidently snap every human movement—every human desire and motive and act—into its divinely appointed and proper…

Atheist Nazis? The Pope’s Cheap Atonement

Adam Clayton Powell called it “cheap grace,” but we might call it “cheap atonement”: the effort by sinners to select which sins to acknowledge and repent. Pope Benedict XVI ended his heavily protested visit to England with a heartfelt apology for German bombings of England during the Battle of Britain; though he refused to accept Christian responsibility for the Holocaust, blaming it instead on pagans and atheists. Given that Cardinal Walter Kasp…

Taking the Right-Wing Echo Chamber to the Halls of Congress

…ional propaganda, you go right to the source of much of that nonsense. And Sean Hannity? You don’t even need to respond to that ludicrous notion. Hannity is nothing but a partisan blowhard who knows as little about constitutional law as Bachmann. Napolitano is a more interesting choice. He’s one of those guys who can be absolutely right or batshit crazy depending on the issue being discussed. When it comes to civil liberties, he’s actually pretty…

Sean Feucht’s New Year’s Rockin’ Superspreader Revival is a ‘Tepid and Meager’ Effort at Racial Reconciliation

…an alley in downtown Los Angeles, across the street from a bank and a cell phone store and a block away from a Little Tokyo walking mall. But up on a streetlight at the alley’s entrance, a city historical marker is tacked: Azusa St. Mission… Cradle of the Worldwide Pentecostal Movement. For some, this is sacred ground: the place where the Azusa Street Revival, the founding moment of the modern Pentecostal christian church, made its home in 1906, a…

Glenn Beck’s Cheap Grace

…way from the hard work of repentance, who tickle our ears with promises of cheap grace, and offer a vision of the cross of Jesus that has nothing to say to the crosses, and lynching trees, of history. But, if we do, we will be settling for the gospel of Caesar, not the good news of Jesus Christ. Perhaps it is time to put down the chalk, stop drawing pyrotechnical conspiracy theories that play into our worst fears and listen, instead, for the diffi…

Mike Huckabee’s Fox News Problem

…Florida, “Fox News reported that Huckabee wasn’t campaigning there.” Sean Hannity, she continued, “said it on his radio show and wouldn’t correct it” and it was an “outright lie.” “You could’ve made a case for election tampering,” she added. I haven’t, naturally, reviewed all of Fox News’ coverage of the Florida primary. But according to these women, the alleged snubbing of Huckabee has become somewhat legendary. Shelley Ahlersmeyer, a Team Huck…

Michael Sean Winters is Right: Pope Francis Should Not Address Congress

I rarely agree with Michael Sean Winter’s column in the National Catholic Reporter beyond his generally pro-social justice take on immigration and economics. Like many so-called progressive male Catholic columnists, I believe he has a significant blind spot when it comes to the intersectionality of reproductive health issues and social justice. And I would argue that his take on “religious freedom” as it applies to non-profit Catholic institution…

Keep it Catholic, Catholics: A Response to Michael Sean Winters’ Attack on Frances Kissling in America

…ise to read on the Jesuit magazine America’s blog a recent post by Michael Sean Winters in which he violated all the rules. His attack on Frances Kissling and her recent article in Salon began with a gratuitous slam. If Frances Kissling is not equipped to talk about Catholicism and reproductive choice I don’t know who is, even if Mr. Winters does not like what she has to say. He ended with ad feminam arguments. Frances is a sophisticated feminist…

Christian Atheism: The Only Response Worth its Salt to the Zimmerman Verdict

…d’s name and with divine or sovereign power (remember Zimmerman’s words to Sean Hannity that shooting Trayvon Martin was “God’s will”), and finally, not just to act as god but to be a god, a god who could judge and act with the power of life and death—or more accurately, with the power of death and under the protection of law. But who is this god in whose name Zimmerman acted under the cover of law on that dusky Florida night? This is the question…
