New Clashes in Portland Confirm that Christian Nationalism Remains a Clear and Present Danger

By Chrissy Stroop

…s documented by the Anti-Defamation League, “a white supremacist numerical code for ‘Heil Hitler.’” And this year, Feucht openly expressed admiration for his anti-government, “patriot” militia “security team.” https://twitter.com/seanfeucht/status/1424525562278604804?s=20 Indeed, Feucht tweeted “If you mess with them or our 1st amendment right to worship God – you’ll meet Jesus one way or another,” which appears to be a pretty clear threat of viol…

Pittsburgh Paradox: A City Haunted by God and Steel

By Ed Simon

…h considering whether you’re from Pittsburgh or not. “Paul’s Case” doesn’t appear in my book An Alternative History of Pittsburgh—a gross oversight (perhaps justification for a sequel), for as I’ll return to shortly, Cather has something intrinsic to say about matter and spirit. But regardless, while writing my book, I knew that religion would be central to many of the chapters. Three rivers cutting through the Alleghenies with towers of steel and…

Synod or Sin Oddly: Vatican Encourages Catholics to ‘Walk Together’ as Long as the Hierarchy Leads the Way and Decides the Route

By Mary E. Hunt

…t did, the vast majority had planned an opening Mass, about two-thirds had appointed a local coordinator, and 35 had a plan in place for reaching out to parishes and gathering feedback. Despite Vatican instructions that ‘special care should be taken to involve those persons who may risk being excluded: women, the handicapped, refugees, migrants, the elderly, people who live in poverty, Catholics who rarely or never practice their faith, etc.,’ onl…

‘Manufactured’ Smear Campaign Attempts to Intimidate Church ‘Fasting From Whiteness’— It Didn’t Work

By Frederick Clarkson

…of Lent in March. But the threats didn’t begin until this past week. What happened? The Tuesday before Palm Sunday, we received our first hate message from an online post by Turning Point USA. The story from Turning Point was then quoted verbatim by dozens of local news stations owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, all published simultaneously. This was the key moment. This was the moment when the words of a fringe organization took on the patina of…

Whistleblower Alleges $100B Hoarding Scandal by LDS Church; But There’s An Easy Fix

By Andrew L. Seidel

…d as much and Congress should find the political courage to act. With some apparently shady maneuvering, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints created a $100 billion company, one of the wealthiest in the country, according to a blockbuster report in the Washington Post. Most remarkably, in a post-recession era of heightened regulation and scrutiny, the church did this without anyone knowing. The Post story focuses on the unlawful hoardin…

It’s the Theology, Stupid: Why the Shocking SBC Report is Anything But Surprising

By Chrissy Stroop and Jessica Johnson

…over its leadership’s failure to adequately address sexual abuse, I was disappointed to see him continue to romanticize the “conservative resurgence” and “biblical fidelity”—code for continuing to deprive women and LGBTQ folks of power—in his commentary on the new report for Christianity Today. After all, both major architects of the power grab and purge of moderate and liberal actors from SBC institutions that SBC partisans euphemistically call “…

New Apostolic Reformation Faces Profound Rift Due to Trump Prophecies and ‘Spiritual Manipulation of the Prophetic Gift’

By Frederick Clarkson and André Gagné

…prophesying about election fraud are legion. In his 2020 book God’s Chaos Code, Prophet Lance Walnau writes that there could be a “Trump landslide on election day,” but that absentee ballots could turn this victory into defeat. The uncertainty of a dubious or contested election outcome, he believes, would lead “street units” of Antifa and Black Lives Matter to make an “open assault on America,” and he further believes that the Supreme Court might…

Knighting Viktor Orbán for ‘Defending Christianity,’ Serbian Orthodox Patriarch Demonstrates That ‘Culture War’ is the Only Theology That Matters to the Global Right

By Katherine Kelaidis

…testant—not that you would necessarily know that. Despite Orbán’s frequent appeals to “Christianity,” he doesn’t provide many clues about his particular theology. In fact, well into writing this article, I simply assumed he was a Catholic, based on the fact that Hungary has a slight Catholic majority and the extent to which he has sought and obtained the support of the Hungarian Catholic Church—even when the Pope has subtly rebuked him. Moreover,…

Inspired by the Anti-Abortion Movement and QAnon, Anti-Trans Rhetoric is a Blatant Call for Violence

By Annika Brockschmidt & Thomas Lecaque

…rs the group—because generally, most people would like horrible things to happen to those who harm children. This is the same rhetoric used against Democrats by QAnon, whose followers believe that a global cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles runs the world, and it can often lead to “save the children” being understood as “murder our opponents.” It’s also the same playbook used by anti-abortion advocates for decades. The threats against Boston Ch…

The Quiet Part is Very Much Out Loud: Conservative Publication Calls For Embrace of Totalitarianism

By Annika Brockschmidt

…, wielding government power will mean a dramatic expansion of the criminal code. It will not be enough, for example, to reach an accommodation with the abortion regime, to agree on ‘reasonable limits’ on when unborn human life can be snuffed out with impunity. (…) The Dobbs decision was in a sense the end of the beginning of the pro-life cause. Now comes the real fight, in state houses across the country, to outlaw completely the barbaric practice…
