By Ellen Blue

…rina: Reinventing the Church in Post-Katrina New Orleans Ellen Blue Wipf & Stock August 4, 2016 My heart was breaking, too, since New Orleans is my home. My son was in the city as a first responder during the storm, and his family’s home had to be bulldozed. The fear and grief were very personal for me.

…nder, it’s merely the latest and appears in one of the most well-respected newspapers. The truth is, these same assumptions can be found in numerous papers, periodicals, and of course on TV. Nonetheless, for an article to note an increase in the observance of Islam and to link that to the danger of extremism is to fly in the face of the only real, rigorous evidence we have, without presenting any reasons why we should fear extremism, except common…

Nightly News Turns to Bishops About Contraception More Often Than Docs

By Patricia Miller

…h issue.” But this framing is nonetheless important, according to Patton. “News media often say they don’t make news, they cover it, but politicians and some members of the Catholic hierarchy in part drive the news coverage of contraception due to their positions objecting to the ACA mandate,” she notes.

By Susan Henking

…usive and perhaps that’s part of the reason the story still resonates with readers. Readers can gain a deeper understanding of sexuality and religion as they ponder questions about the motives and self-perceptions of the participants in the story and of the social attitudes they encountered.

…ation for the capitalist system he was attempting to theorize). Indeed, a truly free market would actually increase federal revenues by putting more people to work and making taxpayers of them of all. This last article of faith has demonstrated just how far the argument from absurdity can take us, and how little facts can be made to matter. The trickle-down theory, first enunciated at the presidential level by Ronald Reagan (himself a true believe…
