…spread COVID misinformation and climate change denial. Just like its editor-in-chief, Mollie Ziegler Hemingway, The Federalist has gone from criticizing Trump before he became the GOP candidate in 2016 to one of his most vocal supporters. So what should conservatives be calling themselves, then? According to Davidson, they need to “start thinking of themselves as radicals, restorationists, and counterrevolutionaries. Indeed, that is what they are,…

By Mary E. Hunt

…take exception to the definition of torture in the Catholic case, leaving open many questions. The Committee’s Vice Chair, highly regarded human rights advocate Felice D. Gaer, pushed Mr. Tomasi on the obvious: by distancing itself from the vast majority of the Roman Catholic Church’s corporate being, the Holy See “would create important gaps in the coverage” of the treaty as written and intended. In essence, cases of sexual abuse that did not ta…

Loving an Abusive God

By Bernard Schweizer

…xt really caught my attention. When asked why he fell for Madoff’s too-good-to-be-true scam, Wiesel answered “we thought he was God.” Obviously, the first thing that comes to mind when referring to a powerful, deceptive, and ultimately criminal agency is God. Not Satan. God. Yes, Madoff turned out to be a “false” God, but I wonder if Wiesel’s linking of Madoff with God is not just another way of saying that Madoff merely acted as one would expect…

Do Psychedelics Offer a Path To The “God Within”?

By Hollis Phelps

…media. “…it’s [that] characteristic—i.e., the potential of psychedelics to open the mind to a so-called religious or mystical dimension of human existence—that makes them such effective medicine.” It is hard not to be convinced by the case Richards makes. Consistent with other studies, he discusses the benefits of entheogenic treatment for a host of ailments, including addiction, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, and psychosomatic symptoms associ…

Clinton’s Faith Talk Not New, But Was There a Better Answer?

By Sarah Posner

…own disappointment that some who share her faith tradition don’t share her open-minded and open-hearted view of it. That seems like an obvious way to answer Manning’s question, which was framed as a partisan divide. But there was another way to contrast these two strands of Christianity: through the prism of politics rather than religion. Clinton could have said, “I am a Christian, a Methodist, but you know the Constitution prohibits religious tes…

Does The White House Get It?

By Sarah Posner

…rious gold standard for who the allegedly truly religious are), there’s 49%-40% support for open service. UPDATE: The ruling doesn’t, as Zach Roth suggests at the Upshot, revitalize the culture wars — they’ve never gone away. But the culture warriors quoted here are the core of the politicized vocal minority that will make as much of it as they possibly can — with their respective choirs. UPDATE 2: Capehart publishes an apology from Jarrett, in wh…

With This Thanksgiving Bombshell SCOTUS Began Implementation of an Ultraconservative Agenda

By Andrew L. Seidel

…n with fewer capacity restrictions than churches. But most of these are one-on-one businesses that require little to no face time with customers. As an attorney, I’ve been remote without issue since February. Much is also being made of the public spat between Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Neil Gorsuch in the case. Too much. Religious worship isn’t like walking into the grocery store to pick up food or a hardware store to grab a repair kit and…

Who’s Afraid of Sacred Soccer?

By Gary Laderman

…igion of soccer seriously without having to prepare for the inevitable fire-and-brimstone sermons about glorifying idols or the anti-religious tirades of secular humanists seeking psychological explanations for misplaced passions? Sadly, public intellectuals, political orators, and polite preachers remain trapped in the same old patterns of thought that seek to divide the world into black and white, true and false, right and wrong, without paying…

The Cubit Vs. “New Age Colbert,” JP Sears

By The Editors

…be channel, AwakenWithJP, where he’s developed a following for his wry send-ups of New Age culture via his alter ego “Ultra Spiritual” JP Sears, a kind of Stephen Colbert for the New Age set. Dressed in a purple T-shirt and pale green headband, with a flower tucked into his chest-length red hair. Ultra Spiritual JP delivers earnest, convoluted advice on everything from vegetarianism to ayahuasca to the psychology of the selfie, all in pitch-perfec…
