Mike Johnson’s Porn-Monitoring isn’t Just ‘Creepy’ — it’s a Window to the Fascist Desire Driving the White Evangelical Will to Power

By Jessica Johnson

…and lived with evangelical Christians’ views on porn. Despite the initial news coverage and subsequent outrage, Johnson’s pronouncements on porn and Covenant Eyes haven’t received as much attention as reports documenting and raising the alarm about his anti-democratic promotion of 2020 election lies in an effort to overturn the results and keep Trump president. This focus is understandable given Johnson’s ascension to a position that makes him se…

In Speech to White Evangelical Broadcasters, Trump Lays Out his White Christian Nationalist Vision

By Robert P. Jones

…mold of justices Antonin Scalia and the great Clarence Thomas;” create “a new federal task force on fighting anti-Christian bias;” repeal the 1964 Johnson Amendment, which prohibits churches from endorsing political candidates; launch “the largest domestic deportation operation in American history;” direct the Department of Justice to “investigate every radical out of control prosecutor in America for their illegal racist-in-reverse enforcement o…

After Her Remarks Pope JPII Was Never the Same — Controversial, Beloved Sr Theresa Kane’s Effect on the Catholic Church Endures

By Mary E. Hunt

…g congregations are increasingly normative in Catholic churches. No wonder new, community-based models of church and new job descriptions for ministers are replacing the old. In Mercy circles, “integrity of word and deed” is a high value. Think of that in light of the double crossing by Pio Laghi and the insulting request by the Vatican that Theresa “clarify” (i.e., walk back) her statement on ordination. Not likely, gentlemen, and not done. There…

Boo! Trump’s Lead With Religious Voters Not As Bigly As You Might Think

By Daniel Schultz

…mportant numbers may be still to come, however. PRRI looks to be releasing new information on the Catholic vote on Halloween, a number which often closely tracks the final total of overall voters. It’s also a number that varies quite a bit by the racial breakdown. While Trump wins white Catholics 48-41, he gets absolutely crushed among Hispanics, 84-12. A few back-of-the-envelope calculations put us firmly in “Holy shit” territory. Even assuming a…

‘Brazil’s Trump’ Bolsonaro Lost — But Anti-Democratic Movements Seldom Accept Electoral Defeat

By Craig Johnson

…ority in a country that remains majority Catholic. Unlike in the US, these new evangelical and charismatic Protestants don’t have centuries of mainline Protestantism to contend with, which would seem to make their perspective that they’re being “victimized” or that they’re “targeted” for their faith more reasonable. In fact, these evangelical Protestants have formed a religious and political coalition with the conservative and right-wing Catholics…

The Threat to Democracy Runs Deep, But Mathematics Could Address the Abominable State of Representation and Voting

By Ismar Volić

…Electoral Maps, and Representation Ismar Volić Princeton U. Press April 2, 2024 Following similar elections in Slovenia and Croatia the previous spring, this was Bosnia’s first general election while it was still a constituent republic of Yugoslavia, a country whose socialist-era days were clearly numbered. Three ethnic parties, representing Bosnian Muslims, Croats, and Serbs, swept the election and formed the new seven-member presidency. The dre…

Hillary Clinton Won the Catholic Vote After All, So Dems Should Stay Pro-Choice, Right?

By Patricia Miller

…states like Pennsylvania and Michigan that really doomed Clinton. But the new analysis suggests that it would be foolish for the Democratic Party to restructure its platform around attempting to court the white Catholic voters who went for Trump because they’re a dying breed…literally. The only age group that overwhelmingly voted for Trump were Catholics age 75 and older, who went for Trump 57% to 44%. The age groups roughly corresponding to Baby…

By Audrey Clare Farley

…Memoir of Breaking Away from Christian Patriarchy Cait West Eerdmans April, 2024 Cait West’s insights could not be more urgent. At a time when conservative lawmakers and influencers idealize “tradwives” and vilify “childless cat ladies,” West draws from her experience as a survivor of the Christian patriarchy movement to expose the mythologies that sustain and reinforce it. In her work as an editorial board member for Tears of Eden (a nonprofit su…

Resurrection of ‘Comstock Laws’ Would Threaten Access to Abortifacients — But Even That Fear Misses Bigger Picture

By Gillian Frank

…from public view. We therefore have to read between the lines of the many newspaper articles about injuries caused by Lysol and similar products. In 1934, for example, a short news item in the Hammond Indiana Times reported how two unmarried eighteen-year-old “Chicago girls are in St. Margaret’s hospital today, severely burned about their legs from lysol disinfectant.” The two women “received their burns in a washroom in Johnny Nichols’ beer tave…

Sheldon Adelson’s Long Game

By Sarah Posner

…ters? With regard to Adelson, the editorial contends, his early support of Newt Gingrich “didn’t really work. Gingrich lost the primary, and the protracted, intra-party fight weakened Mitt Romney in the general election.” Every election cycle, we talk about the “Jewish vote” whatever that is. If it can be broadly characterized, it’s largely Democratic. Vogel told the Forward, “Very little of the money given by Jewish donors is actually spent on in…
