A New Mormon Religion Has Taken QAnon Conspiracies and Canonized Them as Doctrine

…s of the dominant faith. One such example emerged in 2013 with a man named Denver Snuffer, leader of the Remnant movement. Snuffer became well-known in Mormon circles for his widely read publications that outlined the path for individuals to encounter Jesus Christ and have assurance of their salvation without the need for a religious institution. Ultimately, Snuffer claimed that God had “terminated the priesthood authority” of the LDS Church, lead…

This is not a Religion Column: Sarah Palin, American

…Lifer told me this past spring, that Pastor Ted’s downfall occurred up in Denver, surely a sister city of Sodom. That view, it should be remembered, is very much a minority perspective within conservative Christianity. Indeed, there’s just as strong a movement toward cities, as hipster evangelicals plant new churches in New York, Chicago, and L.A. with names like The Journey, The Awakening, and Revolution. But Palin is not a hipster evangelical….

Does ISIS Vindicate Pope Benedict’s Islam Remarks, as George Weigel Believes? 

…icle published in a variety of Catholic media such as First Things and the Denver Catholic Register, that the controversial references to Muhammad and Islam which opened Benedict’s Regensburg lecture look a lot different now, in light of ISIS, etc., than they did when the latter first delivered the speech in September 2006. My question to Mr. Weigel is: “To whom does the Regensburg address look so different now?” Surely he’s not claiming that thos…

Don’t Ask, Don’t Ask: Women Seeking to Become Catholic Army Chaplains

…eeks ago community leaders of Catholic men and women religious convened in Denver, Colorado. In between sessions on topics from global warming to the decrease in vocations, vendors set up tables to sell their products or their ideas or, in some cases, to recruit. Among this array of merchants was one table that, to an untrained eye, might have seemed better placed at a high school job fair than a gathering of priests and nuns—the United States Arm…

Obama Territory

…m section—you’ll hear Rev. Clinton M. Miller’s voice, rising over his microphone’s threshold, calling out through the static to responses from the packed pews. Mixed in all that, these days, you’ll probably hear something about Barack Obama, or at least his echoes—”hope,” “politics as usual,” “change.” Keep walking, past the humbler Progressive Glorious Church of God in Christ, and there is a man on his stoop selling t-shirts with the big, colorfu…

The Surprising Catholic Roots of the War on Xmas

…“Talking Points Memo”: All over the country, Christmas is taking flak. In Denver this past weekend, no religious floats were permitted in the holiday parade there. In New York City, Mayor Bloomberg unveiled the holiday tree and no Christian Christmas symbols were allowed in the public schools. Federated Department Stores, [that’s] Macy’s, have done away with the Christmas greeting, “Merry Christmas.” O’Reilly charged it was a secular plot to “des…

…igh Washington to serve as president.” A few years after its founding, the Denver, Colorado-based Promise Keepers experienced an extraordinary growth spurt, drawing tens of thousands of men to rallies in football stadiums and sports arenas across the country. As attendance at its rallies grew—278,000 in 1994, 738,000 in 1995 and more than a million in 1996—so did its revenues. In 1997, more than one million men gathered on the National Mall in Was…

A Nation of Believers and Nonbelievers—Second Thoughts on Obama’s Speech

…prayer or meditation”? The “values” and “unity” event that kicked off the Denver convention turned out to be a religious celebration, pure and simple. Leah Daughtry ignored the Secular Coalition for America’s request to participate. And every convention session began with a prayer. Wouldn’t it be more unifying and respectful of all people’s beliefs to reach out to nonbelievers as well, and to recast the event next time so that it’s really about “…

How the Religious Left, or Whatever It’s Called, Failed at the Budget Big Game

…acknowledging that cuts would hurt to an even split on the question. These numbers, and the widening confusion they reflect, will come back to haunt the Democrats if and when they next propose a jobs program to help the economy get moving again. The reason why Democrats are losing, as Meyerson and others have pointed out, is that they have relented to using the Republican Manual of Economic Destruction, which holds, essentially, that the national…

Jennifer Knapp and Me: Coming Out While Evangelical

…ch for fully supporting LGBTQ people, but found a like-minded community in Denver. Derek Webb invited Knapp to go on tour together so she could acclimate to the scene once again. In 2011, Knapp founded Inside Out Faith, an advocacy organization that seeks to educate and equip religious leaders to advocate on behalf of LGBTQ people. Her faith taught her love, Knapp maintains, so how could loving another person ever be wrong? It was too late for me,…
