By Anthea Butler

…ed out to the group to attempt “reconciliation,” and has requested that it sign a “doctrinal preamble.” The SSPX sent a letter to the Pope during Holy Week, and the contents—and whether it has agreed to sign the doctrinal preamble—are to be made public after the Pope’s birthday celebration.

The Real Mormon Moment

By Joanna Brooks

…towards less orthodox members of their congregations. I dream tonight of a signal from Salt Lake City, or an even higher place, will empower a different kind of action, a standing down on all sides, a putting away of defensiveness and fearfulness, a putting to rest of Mormonism’s nineteenth-century ghosts and twentieth-century control issues. A signal to the men tasked with the burden of convening an excommunication court this Sunday in Virginia,…

…sing you to sin, cut it off.” But he affirmed his insistence that “gender distinctions matter to God.” • Also this week, a person who declares on his YouTube account, “I vote for the Bible,” posted a video – since removed – of himself urinating on a “Vote No” sign. • That followed the posting of a video by a teenager shooting at a vote no sign he says someone put up near his house and concluding, “that’s how we deal with it around here.” Equality…

By Jodi Eichler-Levine

…, which for Jews has evoked exclusion and persecution, and renders it as a sign of inclusion: we are all in the Holocaust. Just as the cross incorporates believers into the body of Christ and into the community of the church, Sendak wants his sign of the cross to incorporate all readers into the body of Holocaust experience.

Beloved Immortals: Science, Miracles and ‘Jellyfish Time’

By Beatrice Marovich

…re that has no sexual organs and no complex digestive system as our bright sign of the future, while we simultaneously hold it captive to our whims and mercies. And yet I also have a strange sense that Kobuta might be the sort of starry-eyed scientist who won’t allow this to happen. Of course, I can’t know this. I don’t even know Kobuta. But I am moved by his sense of humility. Science’s Little Miracles As hungry as Kobuta is for knowledge about j…

By Douglas Harrison

…ording to Culliver, and they should leave if there are any, anyway. It’s a sign of the age of cultural enlightenment that seems to be dawning in the NFL that Culliver’s remarks were swiftly and roundly rejected by both the 49ers front office and a raft of players, including the NFL’s straight-but-not-narrow ambassadors of loud-and-proud support for gay rights, the Baltimore Ravens’ Brendon Ayanbadejo and the Minnesota Vikings’ Chris Kluwe.

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…the wake of the criticism to the point where many Komen executives have resigned—people took to Twitter and Facebook and it happened in just a few days.

He is significantly diminished in both his sponsors and his radio outreach. That was completely a creature of social media—and again driven by wo…
