Unauthorized Catholic Immigrants will Renew a Christian America, Archbishop Says

By Marie Friedmann Marquardt

…olics whose stated intent was “equipping Catholics in the ‘Next America.’” Registration alone was $1,500, not including the cost of food and lodging in Napa Valley. This offers a pretty clear indicator of precisely which Catholics were being equipped at this event. Archbishop Gomez also serves as chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Migration. As chair of that committee, he consistently articulates the five-fold plat…

Perry Taps Anti-Gay Crusader and “Prayer Lady” for Florida Team

By Sarah Posner

…vent, sent an email to registrants introducing the United in Purpose voter registration project Champion the Vote. Wildmon wrote, “research has shown that it takes only 5 million voters to influence the outcome of an election. This is a do-able goal, and Champion the Vote is seeking Champions – an army of volunteers — to help with the effort. A Champion is simply a Christian talking to other Christians about registering and voting.” In November, U…

…nsidering bail for any undocumented immigrant who is charged with any felony offense; Establishes mandatory 6-month jail term for anyone convicted of using another person’s identity to obtain employment; and Prohibits individuals from obtaining a vehicle title and registration, fingerprint clearance card or license of any kind until they are able to demonstrate satisfactory immigration status.

Put Your Money Where Your Mind Is: A For-Profit Meditation Studio Opens in New York

By Michael Schulson

…esembles SoulCycle’s (“book a bike”). So does the layout of MNDFL’s online registration portal. Both SoulCycle and MNDFL project a happy-healthy-community vibe, merging the accept-all-comers language of a millennial church with the prices of an upscale nail salon. And the origin story is basically the same: two people with complementary expertise get together; while chatting, they wonder why a certain service isn’t available, and they hatch a busi…

Anti-Gay Celebration in Uganda; Weddings in England; ‘Francis Effect’ at the Vatican

By Peter Montgomery

…eir legislators, if not more so. A webpage published by Singapore’s Health Promotion Board addressing questions on homosexuality and bisexuality ignited a firestorm of debate after conservative Christians both in and out of Parliament raised objections. They had taken exception to the webpage stating that homosexual relationships were “not that different” from heterosexual ones, saying that it was a signal to young Singaporeans that there was noth…

By Bill Berkowitz

…ith the “T” word. Now, Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX), chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, has done the branding himself. Sessions recently said that House Republicans should play the role of the “positive, loyal opposition” that should also “understand insurgency.” But Sessions didn’t stop there. “Insurgency, we understand perhaps a little bit more because of the Taliban,” Sessions said during a meeting with Hotline on Call ed…

White Christian Complaints About Religious Persecution Are Especially Ugly on MLK Day

By Sunnivie Brydum

…importance of defending religious freedom. The man who in 2016 helped the Republican Party author the most aggressively anti-LGBT platform in decades began his rumination by suggesting that fear of losing religious freedom was a deciding factor for a majority of voters who cast their ballot for Donald Trump. As such, Perkins asserts, the President-elect should prioritize such protections. Of course his op-ed, billed as a defense of religious free…

The Only Common Denominator of American Conservatism is Anti-Blackness

By Yannick Marshall

…atter how many scars are on Prissy’s back. Preventing that ‘eureka moment’ Republican officials’ voter registration purges and restricting the possibility of voting for Black people is the pursuit of Klan business by other means. They will say, however, that they aim to protect voting rights. It’s never enough to beat Black people down. We must be mocked. Even if every one of a conservative’s errors is one that furthers the cause of fascism they w…

A Secret Family History Shows “Regular” Life Under the Reich: Sarah Wildman on Paper Love

…es her all the more relatable. Finding small pieces in archives—her school registration, for example, the fact that the Gestapo notes she kept a microscope with her as she moved from place to place to place, and all her books, all these things add up to painting her picture. I tried to use her letters with the state files on her case and weave from that a narrative that gives as deep a profile as possible. Also, I’ll add, that I found geography to…

LifeSite Complains that Local Boy Scout Chapter is Not Homophobic Enough

By Katie Toth

…d back into the program by falsifying personal information or skirting the registration process. Others were able to jump from troop to troop around the country thanks to clerical errors, computer glitches or the Scouts’ failure to check the blacklist. The report reveals some serious issues around child safety, rape culture, and the dismissal of victim experiences. Perhaps this is more of a priority right now for BSA than pandering to homophobia….
