Jerry Falwell Jr. Is Corrupt, but Liberty U’s Problems Go Far Deeper

By Will E. Young

…well responds to prominent evangelical pastor David Platt’s apology for welcoming Trump to his church. “Sorry to be crude,” Falwell tweeted, “but pastors like [David Platt] need to grow a pair.” In the online backlash, including one that referred to Falwell as a minister, Falwell responded with the following tweets: https://twitter.com/JerryFalwellJr/status/1136056209679822849 Falwell’s crude and aggressive rhetoric is not unique to him. It partly…

Q Shaman’s New Age-Radical Right Blend Hints at the Blurring of Seemingly Disparate Categories

By Susannah Crockford

…onspirituality, and there are some in the wellness, yoga, and spirituality communities who have become deeply concerned about the interpenetration of the two. When asked by the Arizona Republic about where he got his ideas, Jake Angeli mentioned “internet research” and Behold a Pale Horse by William Cooper. Cooper was another Arizona resident, killed by police, whose book went on to influence QAnon and the right-wing Patriot movement. YouTube rese…

What Does the Catholic Church’s Patriarchal Structure Have to Do with the Failure of the Amazon Synod?

By Mary E. Hunt

…and a celibate priesthood. Men in the region aren’t interested in making a commitment to celibacy. The few who become priests fly/drive/walk around a huge area to dispense the sacraments like one more product. It’s a hideous theological model—the community gathered in thanksgiving and not the presence of a priest constitutes Eucharist—and a futile struggle for the Roman model. Another issue that arose was the ordination of women as deacons. By all…

After Roe: 3 Troubling Trends from the ‘Compassionate’ Anti-Abortion Crowd

By Robert Repino

…ut it goes to show that many anti-abortion activists want people who can become pregnant to live with this newly-located Overton window no matter what comes next. Keeping abortion illegal will always be more important to them than alleviating the suffering that an abortion ban would cause. There’s no turning back. But the questions shouldn’t stop there. What if the maternal mortality rate goes up? What if the police treat miscarriages as potential…

As Florida Attempts to Make it Illegal, an Argument for the Sacred Work of White Discomfort

By Robert P. Jones

…generations. If we white Christians can muster the courage to walk in its company, discomfort with our racial history can be a sacred and saving gift. ### This article was originally published on Jones’ #WhiteTooLong substack newsletter. To read more or sign up, go to robertpjones.substack.com. I would be remiss here if I didn’t give a grateful shout out to my friend Robin DiAngelo, who put her finger on this problem years ago in her best-selling…

Satanic Harmonies and Zoom Church: Readers Respond

By Daniel Schultz

…ress difficult at best. For another, having many friends in the disability community and close relatives who have been immunocompromised and at great risk from the pandemic, yes, I’m pretty sensitive to “the terrible dilemma faced by the disabled.” I don’t think that’s anything to apologize for. More important, N.T.’s argument implies that “fully-abled persons” have a duty to attend church in a particular form. It also implies that I have an oblig…

Don’t Laugh at Rick Scott’s ‘Plan to Rescue America’ or Be Fooled by Reports of a ‘Backlash’ — His Only Mistake Was Revealing the Truth of Today’s GOP

By Annika Brockschmidt

…raise taxes for more than half of Americans including pensioners and low-income people—harking back to Mitt Romney’s ’47-percent’ comment in 2012. After criticism from Jen Psaki and Chuck Schumer, Scott sat with Sean Hannity for a softball-interview during which he denied that his plan included any tax hikes—a lie that Hannity happily let slide. The tax hike, Scott claims in the document, would be necessary to “grow America’s economy, starve Washi…

Kirill’s Sermon May Be Bad Preaching and Even Worse Theology — But it’s a Top-Notch Rejection of Liberal Democracy

By Daniel Schultz

…out justice is capitulation and weakness. Therefore, forgiveness must be accompanied by the indispensable preservation of the right to stand on the side of the world, on the side of God’s truth, on the side of the Divine commandments. None of this is offered in good faith, if you will excuse the phrase. Kirill blames the Ukrainians for Russia’s war of choice, then demands that they admit their offense against the Russians if they want to be offere…

The Most Forgotten Queer Folks in the US are Fighting Back Against a Powerful — and Publicly Funded — Group That Discriminates With Impunity

By Chrissy Stroop

…for their mistreatment of LGBTQ+ students.” As for St. George, reached for comment, he says that LGBTQ students at FPU are “not comfortable being themselves on campus,” though they’ve found a good deal of support for their unofficial LGBTQ student organization, Birds for Pride, with off-campus organizations, including churches. Like Green, St. George sees the recent demonstration as a success, and he says that the WASC officials who received the p…

The Right’s ‘Grooming’ Rhetoric Didn’t Begin with QAnon — You Have to Go Back a Bit Further to Get to the Source

By Sophie Bjork-James

…have instead framed their efforts as protecting children. A prime example comes in the form of opposition to trans rights bills, often called “Bathroom Bills” by Christian Right groups in order to ratchet up the fear, since they claimed that these bills would put women and girls at risk by allowing male predators into female bathrooms. This tactic remains in play because it accomplishes so much. It works. First, it shifts the conversation away fr…
