…rstanding of the interrelatedness of oppression. How do you jump and shout today after such tepid response yesterday? Time and again, members of the Black community have felt the brunt of angry white LGBTQ persons who have declared we are the reason such legislation as Prop 8 gets enacted. To counter, national LGBTQ agencies have even initiated strategies to increase Black allies in support of their work, especially state approval of same-sex marr…

By Shaul Magid

…lowing: “the only offense for which Jews can be ‘excommunicated’ in the US today is not to participate in these efforts [to support Israel]. Intermarriage, ignorance of the Jewish heritage, or lack of faith do not keep anyone from leadership in the American Jewish community today.

By Jonathon Sawyer

…ion is standard among various factions of the Christian Right, but Wallnau promotes a unique and even more pernicious brand of NAR teachings on gender and sexuality, including the dangerous idea that LGBTQ-identifying kids need to be “delivered” from demons.

By Kaya Oakes

…ough the whole book that one of the most serious temptations of the church today is to see itself as a separate planet. We have become accustomed to this with the Benedict Option, but that’s just one example. The clerical disease is at the heart of this temptation to recreate a world with the clergy in charge of everything. That is clearly a world that the vast majority of Catholics don’t live in.
