By Lucas Kwong

…nophobia, their image as Christian warriors sanctifies it. Often, the link between piety and prejudice is explicit, as when Sen. Tom Cotton combines reference to “the China virus” with the benediction, “God bless our brave docs and nurses.” Elsewhere, however, the link is subterranean, though no less insidious. Gosar, for example, is a self-described “proud Catholic” whose parish is not publicly known, and whose anti-Chinese racism has no explicit…

As a Queer Catholic Woman I Had High Hopes Before the 2023 Catholic Synod on Synodality

By Emma Cieslik

…or two—maybe even called our parents (if the Church hasn’t driven a wedge between them and us). But then the news cycle passes and, with each expression of anti-LGBTQ Catholic doctrine on diocesan and global levels, these small victories are tarnished with sadness and frustration.

…would lead to only 70% of white evangelicals to vote for the Republican in 2024 is pure folly. But, why is this the case? Despite the dozens of advocacy groups that have sprung up over the last few years to try and “peel off” white evangelicals, why have they, by and large, failed to move the needle in any significant way away from the GOP? The answer is simply that this group of voters are Republicans first, white people second, and evangelicals…

During…

CNN’s Disastrous ‘Town Hall’ with Trump Put the Country at Risk

By Robert P. Jones

…president, lied in an effort to defraud the American people and overturn a free and fair election in an attempt to remain in power. (See the January 6th Select Committee’s Report.) In doing so he betrayed every aspect of his oath to represent us as Americans. We no longer need to imagine what Trump is capable of. He has shown us that he is an authoritarian who will use any means at his disposal, including violence, to remain in power…. To me, allo…
