Politics in a Time of Crisis: Sandy? Blame Socialism

By Haroon Moghul

…n Manhattan? No government or an ineffective government leaves us with post-New Orleans Katrina, a disaster that helped doom the Bush Presidency; last year, New York City went into overdrive, going out of its way to be ready for Irene. That was a good thing, and thank God Irene wasn’t as bad as we thought she might be. This time around, maybe last year’s preparations will make New York City’s recovery from this disaster more efficient and more com…

Survey Finds Little “Francis Effect,” Two U.S. Catholic Churches

By Patricia Miller

…glossed over the encyclical at their recent meeting and haven’t made it a high-profile issue for clergy and lay Catholics the way they did with the “religious freedom” issue, which got everything from a high-level task force to repeated mentions by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops leadership, to an annual “Fortnight for Freedom” to mobilize Catholics around the issue. The second reason, as an earlier PPRI poll shows, is that a good number…

Why is Huntsman’s Mormonism “Tough to Define”?

By Joanna Brooks

…ut practitioner of the faith. Huntsman? Well, he’s something else—an other-than-orthodox Mormon of a variety that contemporary Mormonism may not yet have the vocabulary to describe. Early Thursday morning, Matthew Bowman at the New Republic tried to spin the differences between Romney and Huntsman as generational and Huntsman’s more easygoing Mormon style as evidence of the LDS Church’s evolution from mid-20th century models of “business Mormonis…

Tornado Hits the Heartland: Is God Punishing Us?

By Jay Michaelson

…are a kind of “punishment”—not in the conservative-theological sense of tit-for-tat justice meted out by an Abusive Father on High, but in the more progressive-theological sense of unforeseen consequences of reckless human actions. Climate scientists have said for years that global climate change will lead to increased severe weather events, and now they appear to be here; along with droughts and poor harvests caused by shifting climatic belts. On…

Is Abortion No Longer Significant for Evangelicals — or Has it Just Become Like Water?

By Bradley Onishi

…n on their pro-choice stances? One would have to believe that Republican research, communications, and outreach are all woefully off base concerning the party’s most cherished and loyal constituency. Asking white evangelicals about abortion in 2018 may have been like asking vacationers how important it would be for a fancy resort to provide running water in all their rooms. Most would assume that such establishments would provide this amenity by d…

I Volunteer to Root Out Christian Extremism

By Peter Laarman

…itor Christian extremist thought seriously and who are willing to work hand-in-glove with you and with other law enforcement personnel to spy upon and help quash the bad guys among the Christians. Thinking of myself personally, I think I could take responsibility for watching approximately 50 congregations. It would stress me out to do this, but I think I could do it, visiting and assessing one congregation each week with two weeks off per year. I…

The Gutting of ‘Roe’ isn’t About Religion, it’s a Product of White Terror

By Sikivu Hutchinson

…morality crusades to “protect” innocent “babies.” Challenging the abortion-as-“Black genocide” billboard campaign mounted by right wing foundations in 2011, founding reproductive justice activist Loretta Ross said: “We decided to have abortions. We invited Margaret Sanger to place clinics in Black neighborhoods. We are part of the civil and human rights movement. We protected the future of Black children, not our opponents.” Despite their high le…

Did the Duggars’ Fundamentalism Cause Sexual Abuse? Not So Fast

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…her the Duggars’ belief system perpetuates sexual abuse. In light of other high-profile sexual abuse scandals among the Duggars’ associates—most notably Doug Phillips and Bill Gothard—it would be surprising if critics of Christian fundamentalism didn’t look for a theological smoking gun. But I actually want to urge some caution here. Not “caution” understood as “calm.” Having a placid mood is not the same as telling the truth or understanding it,…

Why President Obama Should Not Visit the Western Wall

By Melissa Weininger

…even questions of citizenship. The White House may cite security concerns, but a visit to the Western Wall would be a misstep for a president who claims to support freedom and equality while the Women of the Wall still struggle for basic religious freedoms in Israel….

…t Artist’s Co-op, a project of the 1960s Fluxus art movement, around which high-end fashion boutiques now proliferate.
