By A. E. Brooks-Key

…cuss the state of Black-Jewish relations and tried to make it through this latest episode of the Who’s-the-true-chosen-people-Olympics unscathed. So if you detect cynicism dripping from my words, it’s intentional. However, it was a direct message from a close friend who posed the following query that changed my mind: “I need to run this by you, and I know I can’t ask this in public because of how it might be misconstrued. Is it inherently antisemi…

Are the Girls Scouts Evil? And What About Thin Mints?

By Patricia Miller

In the latest example of a high-ranking Catholic prelate who hasn’t gotten the memo from Pope Francis that the culture wars are over, St. Louis Archbishop Robert Carlson is urging parishes in his diocese to cut ties with the Girl Scouts because the organization is “increasingly incompatible with Catholic values.” And what could members of the 100-year-old girls service organization be doing that has so alarmed Carlson? Are Brownies dissing Jesus…

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ousness of coming out is highlighted in yet another great article from the latest issue of Rolling Stone, in which Alex Morris explores “The Hidden War Against Gay Teens,” chronicling the challenges faced by teenagers at private Christian schools (especially in the South) who can be kicked out for merely admitting they are gay or lesbian.

Addressing the Culture War Without Touching the Culture War

By Daniel Steinmetz-Jenkins

…arn how to be consistent and determine how the enlightenment principles it promotes can also apply to religious and secular viewpoints it does not share. But after reading such provocative lines of argumentation, the reader is left wondering what Marsden’s motivations are. The theological justification is clear: Marsden embraces an Augustinian theological outlook in which all humans—regardless of their faith or sexuality—are creatures of God who s…

Dear Mr. President: We Get It. You Really Love White Conservative Christians

By Sunnivie Brydum

…ressing the Constitutional right for, say, business owners to turn away customers based on the owner’s “sincerely held religious beliefs.” That’s a question directly addressed in the DOJ’s memo handed down Friday, but it’s also a question that will be argued before the highest court in the land this term. And while predicting a particular decision from that court is a fool’s errand, the blunt and sweeping constitutional questions presented to the…

Masculinity and Mass Violence: When Will We Acknowledge the Smoking Gendered Pronoun Hiding in Plain Sight?

By Elizabeth Drescher

…t after James Holmes wounded 58 and killed 12 people at the opening of the latest Batman film at an Aurora, Colorado movie theater, The Telegraph published a “history of mass shootings in the U.S. since Columbine”—a list of nearly 30 shooting sprees with lethal results. Ne’er-do-wells who merely wounded didn’t make the cut. Thus, not included on the list was a shooting spree in an Alabama bar with a multiple arson warm-up just two days earlier. Th…

Countering the “Countering Violent Extremism” Program

By Elizabeth Shakman Hurd

…ficials. What to make of these developments? First, these programs are the latest installment in a long history of US interventions in religious and political fields abroad. Second, the CVE agenda assumes that religion is the “cause” of various political outcomes, both good and bad. It is the job of the state, and other international authorities, to cultivate religious moderation and to sideline extremism. Third, this good/bad religion narrative d…

Hobby Lobby Case Isn’t Really About Contraception

By Patricia Miller

…r scientific understanding of ECPs has undercut even these objections. The latest evidence says that Plan B, which accounted for 99 percent of the market in 2012, doesn’t affect implantation at all—if it fails to prevent ovulation it doesn’t work. In 2010, Health Progress, the Catholic Health Association’s own journal, admitted that Plan B “is not an abortifacient.” Ella, a newer ECP that can prevent pregnancy for up to five days after uncontracep…

Ann Coulter and GOProud: In Bed Together Once Again

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…acklash continues. A poll over at One News Now showed that 63% believe her latest coupling with GOProud “undermines her testimony as a born-again Christian,” with 27% saying it “damages her credibility as a conservative columnist.” Matt Barber from Liberty Counsel Action also attacked Coulter for associating with GOProud: “There is nothing conservative about the radical homosexual activist agenda which seeks to impose, under penalty of law, sexual…

St. Snooki: Our ‘Legit Old Lady’ of Renounced Sexuality

By Jay Michaelson

…. In so quickly casting off the mores of her immediate past, Snooki is the latest in a long line of irresponsible youths turned responsible adults, bringing to mind the young Henry V (a.k.a. “Prince Harry”) in Shakespeare’s cycle, who, when he is called to rule, immediately puts childish things away—even going so far as to hang one of his former compatriots when he is caught thieving. (One wonders if today’s Prince Harry will likewise renounce his…
