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…

By Robyn Henderson-Espinoza

…nary. Following seminary, I went on to pursue a Ph.D. at the University of Denver and now spend my time building bridges in faith communities as an openly trans queer Latinx. This bridging work across lines of difference not only feeds my soul, but it is part of my call and vocation as a theologian to reduce harm in our faith communities, which of course also impacts our civic communities. That call is deeply informed by my upbringing in the Lone…

God May Weep For Church Sexual Abuse, But Bishop Chaput Prefers to Bark

By Anthea Butler

…w to this fight, having contested statute of limitations laws as Bishop of Denver. He knows exactly what he’s saying. Not going back in Philadelphia means not opening up more litigation in an Archdiocese that has been broken by sexual abuse, two grand jury investigations, and the first Catholic administrator sent to jail for child endangerment by pedophile priests. Not going back means that even though the Archdiocese just settled with “Billy Doe”…

The first post-Bush breakfast in 2009 featured the conservative Catholic dream team of Justice Antonin Scalia and Cardinal Raymond Burke.

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.

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…
