Anti-Vaxx Cardinal Burke, Just Off the Ventilator, is Becoming a Living Anti-Abortion Martyr

By Karen E. Park

Earlier this month Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke announced to the world that he had contracted Covid-19 in a strangely triumphant August 10 tweet “Praised be Jesus Christ! I wish to inform you that I have recently tested positive for the COVID-19 virus.” By August 14 he’d been sedated and placed on a ventilator at an undisclosed Wisconsin hospital. Though so gravely ill that he was unable to breathe on his own, an updated tweet from his account insi…

The January 6 Select Committee Cannot Ignore This Christian Movement

By Andrew L. Seidel

Yesterday, for the first time, we heard about Christian Nationalism in a government conversation about the January 6 insurrection. The conversation some of us had been having about Christian Nationalism may have entered the mainstream in the wake of that attack, but politicians—even those promising to get to the bottom of the attacks—ignored the role this political theology played in the attack. They can ignore it no longer. Christian Nationalism…

Apocalypse Now and Then: How a Biblical Genre Shapes American Politics

By Christopher Douglas

In state legislatures across the country, Republicans are systematically making it more difficult to vote, premised on the “Big Lie” that voter fraud was behind President Joe Biden’s election. The former president and much of his party refused to concede the 2020 election loss, with most Congressional Republicans voting against ratification of the results, leading to the January 6th insurrection. The disagreement among Republicans seems not so mu…

The Roots of White Evangelicalism’s Crisis Are in White Evangelical Churches, Not Republican Politics

By Jesse Curtis

In recent months, the Southern Baptist Convention has faced a steady stream of high-profile defections, including black pastors such as Charlie Dates, popular Bible teacher Beth Moore, and Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission President Russell Moore. The recent leak of Russell Moore’s private letter detailing racism and abuse of power at the highest levels of the convention put a sensational exclamation point on the trend. For the nation’s lar…

A Note To Churches During Pride: If You’re Not LGBTQ-Affirming, Keep Your Water

By Chrissy Stroop

It’s Pride Month again! Time for indulging in hope, for flying flags, and for remembering the victims of anti-LGBTQ bigotry as well as celebrating the hard-fought gains that have come since Stonewall, both in terms of legal rights and public acceptance for members of the LGBTQ community. As a dysfunctional America slowly lurches into something like a post-pandemic state, with some local events taking place in person this year, it’s also time, ine…

Claiming That ‘We Birthed a Nation From Nothing’ CNN’s Rick Santorum Gives a Master Class in Christian Nationalism: An Open Letter to CNN

By Andrew L. Seidel

Dear CNN, Many questioned your decision to hire Rick Santorum as a senior political commentator back in January 2017. Not because he’s a conservative—diversity of opinion can be valuable—but because he’s a bigot. His bigotry toward LGBTQ people was already well-known and documented, as even a cursory Google search shows. That his bigotry was rooted in religion perhaps gave him a pass, and your network chose to pay this man, presumably quite well,…

White Supremacy Erases Its Violence: The Predictable Blaming of Antifa

By Stephen Young

Within hours of the storming of the Capitol on January 6, the Republican House Rep and Trump ally Matt Gaetz gave a speech in the House chamber. This is the same chamber that had been under siege by a crowd Trump had himself urged to “show strength” and march on the Capitol, even promising, “I’ll be with you” (incidentally, he drove the opposite direction in his motorcade). Just like the MAGA fest outside the Capitol, the looters who broke in wer…

Don’t Discount Evangelicalism as a Factor in Racist Murder of Asian Spa Workers in Georgia

By Chrissy Stroop

Today, America is still reeling from the news of the mass murder of eight people at massage parlors in Georgia. Many are rightly calling the shooting spree an act of white supremacist terrorism, as the victims targeted were Asian women. The moment I read that the man who confessed to the murders was the son of a youth pastor who told police he had a “sex addiction,” however, it struck me that we must not ignore the specifically evangelical Protes…
