…tral to Christian nationalism. Neither is poised to dissipate, despite the new president’s optimism that racist zealots like Pompeo, Sen. Josh Hawley, and Sen.

By Nilay Saiya

…country would be immune from the threat of civil war, wouldn’t it? Yet, a new American civil war is no longer unthinkable.

Hold Your Applause: Potential Changes to Roles of Catholic Women and LGBTQ+ People May Just Be Vatican Breadcrumbing

By Mary E. Hunt

…in a Synod of Bishops in October of 2023 and another session in October of 2024. Several hundred bishops and a few lay people will develop suggestions to “submit to the Holy Father,” (IL par.10) who, unsurprisingly, has the final say on what comes next.

And indeed—the various factions of the US (but also the international) right-wing have been in meltdown mode since the news of the guilty-verdict broke, threatening everything from violent retribution to killings. For those who had, somehow, still hoped that having a convicted felon as a nominee would finally be the red line Republicans wouldn’t cross, it must h…

By Jessica Johnson

…and lived with evangelical Christians’ views on porn. Despite the initial news coverage and subsequent outrage, Johnson’s pronouncements on porn and Covenant Eyes haven’t received as much attention as reports documenting and raising the alarm about his anti-democratic promotion of 2020 election lies in an effort to overturn the results and keep Trump president. This focus is understandable given Johnson’s ascension to a position that makes him se…

By Daniel Schultz

…who spoke with Carranca about the politics and money of spreading the good news, from a post-Civil War influx of Confederates to Brazil to crusades against the beast of communism to the emergence of a new beast in need of conversion: Muslims. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. Tell us about this network of missionaries, which, as I understand it, sort of flows from the US into Latin America and out across the world? Brazil at f…

Alarming New Report Shows Attacks on Public Education Are Coordinated by Right-Wing Think Tanks

By Hialy Gutierrez

…bills, which rolled out starting in 2023 and became a defining part of the 2024 legislative cycle as well. Those aren’t trying to police speech in the classroom per se, because that [tactic] was running into legal issues on First Amendment grounds. Instead, they try to reshape what services schools provide to their students. These bills aim to create the language that talking about diversity, equity, and inclusion and talking about how to create…

Historian Jill Lepore writes in The New Yorker, “By the time Paine died, in 1809, all the surviving Founders had renounced him.” Historian and author of Thomas Paine and the Clarion Call for American Independence, Harlow Giles Unger told an audience at the National Archives that “history books, especially high school and elementary school history books, have sought to make Thomas Paine a virtual non person ….

Historian Matthew Stewart Upends the Widespread Belief that 19th Century U.S. Christianity Was On ‘The Right Side of History’

By Peter Laarman

…Unitarians during a tight-lipped confrontation over teacups. His chief accuser was the exalted head of Harvard Divinity School, Andrews Norton. Parker considered himself “excommunicated” and went on to found his own 28th Congregational Society in Boston as a haven for freethinkers and committed abolitionists. Which is not to say that Theodore Parker was without his own blind spots. Like many other “enlightened” New Englanders, Parker hated slaver…
