The Seven Deadly Sins, New and Improved

…All in all, few American news sites carried comprehensive features on the list as did the BBC, the Times Online, and the Sydney Morning Herald, to name a few. Okay, the Vatican condemning sinful behavior is not a news flash, but the frame it provides—specifically, engaging the contemporary world in a collective reconsideration of systemic and personal sin—is noteworthy. We forgive our peccadilloes all too easily, which is why the Vatican wants a…

Another Book Burner Lusts for Attention

…s, and even the newly beleaguered Eddie Long. Even Mother Teresa makes his list of heretics. Apparently, feeding the poor and clothing the naked makes one a “heretic” in Grizzard’s book (don’t tell Jesus!). Fred Phelps didn’t make the list, so that should be a hint of just who Grizzard’s fellow believers might look like. On their website (NB: mute your computer unless your idea of a good time is Amazing Grace on an infinite loop), they encourage o…

New Mag Provides a Platform for Christians of Color

…able to participate in the editorial meeting, someone followed up with the list [of interviewees]. They were all white, and I found that strange. I brought it up, and we were able to add a bit more diversity to the list, but just little things like that. A lot of outlets focus on celebrity Christianity, and that seems to be what drives a lot of the coverage. So in the beginning, I fell into pursuing the stories that people seemed to respond to the…

Why Even Progressive Christianity Must Own Its Complicity in Anti-LGBT Violence

…ues currently taught by various Christian denominations. According to this list, mainline Protestant denominations such as the United Church of Christ and the Episcopal Church claim that homosexuality is not antithetical to Christian teaching, while PCUSA supports an inclusive understanding of marriage and is “generally LGBT affirming.” Even denominations such as the Catholic Church and the United Methodist Church—whose official theology still hol…

Religious Right Very Much Alive in Tomorrow’s Elections

…olls. After she endorsed Owens yesterday, the anti-choice Susan B. Anthony List promply used Scozzfava as Exhibit A for the further marginalization of moderate Republicans. “When a GOP candidacy is not based on fundamental conservative values, the party and the principles are inevitably betrayed and critical moments . . . . These principles are not only right, they are the path to electoral victory,” the group’s president, Marjorie Dannenfelser, s…

The ‘Scandal’ of Obama’s Empty Pew

…h and state that Obama should be praised for observing. Other items on the list are no surprise: Obama skipping the right-wing sponsored “National Day of Prayer” but having the audacity to actually speak to gay and lesbian rights groups and promise to move their issues along during his presidency, or Obama’s continuing commitment to abortion rights. The one on the list that puzzled me the most was this one: In the midst of the worst economic downt…

The Myth of the Pro-Life Swing Voter the Dems Must Chase

…it turns out, is a former national field director for the Susan B. Anthony List, who, well, let them tell it: However, Klobuchar’s comments left some abortion-rights and anti-abortion activists cold. The anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony List tweeted that the Minnesota senator is “still extreme & out-of-touch,” pointing to her record of abortion-rights votes[.] Could it be that Crawford was being strategic in his questioning and reaction to Klo…

“Do Not Be A Stupid Idiot!”: Religion and Resentment

…uld be easy to assume that these people are resentful because of this long list of outrages they feel they’ve suffered, but the truth is perhaps the other way around. They have compiled the list because they feel resentment. And what do they resent? I think it’s the loss of a social pecking order. We are approaching a point in both demographics and culture where no one group can set social norms. It seems likely that Harvey’s brand of the politics…

Stronger Than We Look: Ten Tendrils of Hope for 2017

…often much stronger than they look. Readers are urged to quarrel with this list or make up their own list. The point is to keep hope alive. Here, then, are ten tendrils that offer reason to remain hopeful despite it all: 1. Clarity, maybe. This year we gained an opportunity to achieve greater clarity about how fear and hate reinforce each other, how inspired demagoguery foments both, and how fatal to the health of a body politic a deliberately ind…

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

…y qualified to teach the course, as opposed to the other two people on the list. I’ve got a deal for Bachmann. I’ll take her seriously on this if she takes the final exam in AP history and gets at least a C on the test. I’d be willing to bet a sizable amount of money she can’t. Actually, I’m just amazed Christine O’Donnell wasn’t on her list. Bachmann’s suggestions shows just how tightly sealed the right-wing echo chamber has become. While the new…
