Meet the New (Straight White American Male) Mormon President

By Holly Welker

…ly of straight white American men in their 80s and 90s not known for their open-mindedness or innovation, it seems likely that much of the controversy that has plagued the church will continue. But perhaps now I’ll get an answer to a question I’ve had for several years about one of the songs from The Book of Mormon musical. Will the lyrics to “I Believe,” in which Elder Price affirms his belief that “the current president of the church, Thomas S….

Millennials Invent New Religion: No Hell, No Priests, No Punishment

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…they can acknowledge suffering—either their own or that of others—all the feel-good religion in the world will not be much good. Which brings us right back to what all these millennial religions lacked: leadership, community, discipline and a sense of a larger mission for their invented sect. It would be unfair to say that millennials do not appreciate discipline or that their actions have consequences; I found many of my students to be smart, in…

Orthodox Jews Begin to Reckon with Sexual Abuse

By Paul Berger

…Salomon, a Long Island psychiatrist, who has just finished working on an as-yet-unpublished book about sexual abuse in the Orthodox world. “Different religions use different justifications for not reporting,” he says. “But it comes down to the theory that religious issues should be handled within the religious community, even though the powers that be within the community do not have the power to investigate and to prosecute.” For many years, Orth…

Note to the New Pope: Half of the World’s Poor are Women

By Marian Ronan

…vocate for the poor, emphasizing the Christian Gospel of love, washing the feet of AIDS victims, and more. The new pope’s legacy will stand him in good stead as well, since his parents were Italians, and he speaks Italian fluently—not a bad thing for a pope—even as he has never served in the Vatican curia, the focus of much criticism and concern in recent months. He is also the first Jesuit pope in history. Being a member of the largest religious…

Is Eddie Long Preparing For a Confession?

By Anthea Butler

…Saul. After all, the people of New Birth want him desperately to remain their spiritual leader—though whether he can remain or not is up to the court or an out-of-court settlement. Stay tuned. This “Bible story” might become hotter than the O.J. trial….

Is Zionism No Longer Able to Offer Solutions to the Present Reality?

By Shaul Magid

…Israel?” The honesty of Hartman’s description belies the rhetorical sleight-of-hand of his solution. We change the very parameters of how we define liberalism in Israel/Palestine, and then offer rubrics to apply liberal language inside those new parameters. One can argue that this is merely using liberal ideas to defend an illiberal reality, which in one sense is true. But Hartman is saying more than that. He knows that the reality is illiberal as…

Walk the Walk: Honoring Common Ground on Abortion

By Frances Kissling

…le are the righteous and those who dissent from the claimed shared views become a new “other.” Furthermore, the values and positions presented were far from points of consensus, which explicitly excluded coming to conclusions. It would be highly problematic to draw conclusions about what a substantial segment of attendees believed, as most of them never said a word. Among the forty speakers themselves, opinions were very diverse. (For a far more b…

Seen Andrew Sullivan’s Expose-Style Footage of the LDS Temple? Now Read This.

By Joanna Brooks

…s to the LDS Church. Just as did Smoot critics in 1903, during a period of high anti-Mormon suspicion in the US, the creator and the promoter of the YouTube temple video published by Andrew Sullivan claims that Romney’s own temple covenants would oblige him to put the interests of the Church above the interests of the nation were he to serve as president. Some bloggers who have recirculated the footage have echoed this claim. Does making a temple…

Jennifer’s Body and Why I Like Buffy’s Body Better

By W. Scott Poole

…tites were so insatiable that she attracted Satan himself. By the 1940s, a comic book entitled Madame Satan [see image left] told a similar story to adolescents of a seductive woman who, using Satan’s supernatural power, attempted to lead men to destruction. Doesn’t the story of a high school cheerleader who seduces and then devours men more or less replicate this tradition? I prefer to see powerful religious and cultural paradigms more thoroughly…

Neil Gorsuch Shows How Donald Trump Loses (Some) White Evangelical Christians

By John Stoehr

…ong white evangelical Christians is pretty meaningless. True, Trump had sky-high approval in March, and true, that approval dropped around 10 points a month later. But that didn’t indicate a serious shift. His approval was sky-high across all demographics due to the “rally around the flag” effect. That was gone by April, and Trump’s approval went back to normal. The president still has white evangelical Christians in his back pocket. Still, it’s w…
