Catholics Coming Around On Senate Health Care Bill

By Sarah Posner

…, is now, along with the CHA, under fire from Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver for “undermining the witness of the Catholic community; and ensuring the failure of genuine, ethical health-care reform.” Of course the key thing to watch — regardless of whether reform passes — is how all this rhetoric about the Hyde amendment affects future legislative maneuvers relating to abortion. Pro-choice members and activists have been miffed for months that…

Bad Faith: The Catholic Hierarchy’s Pointless Campaign Against LGBT Rights

By Casey and Mary Ellen Lopata

…, the Vatican announced that it had appointed Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver as the new archbishop of Philadelphia. The clergy abuse scandal that has badly damaged the hierarchy’s credibility is still spinning out of control in Philadelphia, and Pope Benedict XVI clearly thinks that Archbishop Chaput is the right man for a difficult job. We would only note that in his previous post, he supported a parish priest who expelled a girl from a Cath…

By Anthea Butler

…ladelphia appointed its new leader last week, Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver. The Archbishop, who has presided over the “clean up” of several church scandals, most notably the Legionaries of Christ, will have his hands full with the Philadelphia grand jury reports and the upcoming trials, including that of Monsignor William Lynn, who has two felony charges against him for “purposefully shielding sexually abusive priests.” Philadelphia marks t…

I Know Why a Rain Dance Won’t End The Drought

By Johnny P. Flynn

…and Colorado has seen fires devastate the fringes of urban areas south of Denver. The American consumer is looking at higher prices as corn crops across the Midwest are dying in the fields. This is the context in which Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack recently said: “I get on my knees every day… and I’m saying an extra prayer now. If I had a rain prayer or a rain dance I could do, I would do it.” As an American Indian all my life I have been…

The Surprising Catholic Roots of the War on Xmas

By Patricia Miller

…“Talking Points Memo”: All over the country, Christmas is taking flak. In Denver this past weekend, no religious floats were permitted in the holiday parade there. In New York City, Mayor Bloomberg unveiled the holiday tree and no Christian Christmas symbols were allowed in the public schools. Federated Department Stores, [that’s] Macy’s, have done away with the Christmas greeting, “Merry Christmas.” O’Reilly charged it was a secular plot to “des…

Baby We Were Born for War: To Dominionist Christian Groups, No Election is Too Small — and Colorado is Just the Beginning

By Frederick Clarkson

…e past decade by tax attorney Kathleen A. Kennedy (AKA “Katie Kennedy”) of Denver. No one knows who turned on the dark money spigot, but there was no question that these races were awash in more cash than they’d ever seen in a school board race. In Colorado Springs District 11, three candidates whose views conform to the Truth and Liberty voter guide won seats on the seven-member board. One of the winners was Rev. Al Loma, senior pastor at Victory…

How a Catholic-Majority SCOTUS Fulfilled an Evangelical Dream

By Katherine Kelaidis

…ch and his family most recently attended a Protestant church in his native Denver. Not a conservative evangelical megachurch, but an Episcopalian one. That’s right. If we are to see Gorsuch as the Supreme Court’s last remaining Protestant, it’s worth noting that he belongs to a mainline, largely liberal denomination. For all their loyalty, white evangelical Protestants don’t get one of their own on the most prestigious bench. Evangelicals have alw…

Cues for Throwing Up

By Sarah Posner

…versary of Kennedy’s speech, Archbishop Charles Chaput, then Archbishop of Denver and now Archbishop of Philadelphia, returned to Houston and gave his own speech at Houston Baptist University. There, Chaput accused Kennedy of giving a speech that “profoundly undermined the place not just of Catholics, but of all religious believers, in America’s public life and political conversation. Today, half a century later, we’re paying for the damage.” Toda…

Does ISIS Vindicate Pope Benedict’s Islam Remarks, as George Weigel Believes?

By Scott C. Alexander

…icle published in a variety of Catholic media such as First Things and the Denver Catholic Register, that the controversial references to Muhammad and Islam which opened Benedict’s Regensburg lecture look a lot different now, in light of ISIS, etc., than they did when the latter first delivered the speech in September 2006. My question to Mr. Weigel is: “To whom does the Regensburg address look so different now?” Surely he’s not claiming that thos…

This is not a Religion Column: Sarah Palin, American

By Jeff Sharlet

…Lifer told me this past spring, that Pastor Ted’s downfall occurred up in Denver, surely a sister city of Sodom. That view, it should be remembered, is very much a minority perspective within conservative Christianity. Indeed, there’s just as strong a movement toward cities, as hipster evangelicals plant new churches in New York, Chicago, and L.A. with names like The Journey, The Awakening, and Revolution. But Palin is not a hipster evangelical….
