By Christopher Douglas

…ce to the narrator’s family, as though it were “Drawn from the Archives of Newark’s Newsreel Theater.” Acting President Wheeler imposes martial law as riots are attributed to a Jewish conspiracy and the influence of the British, who want the U.S. in the war. The quisling Rabbi Bengelsdorf, who had helped justify Lindbergh’s liberal fascist policies, is arrested with other Jewish politicians and leaders. First Lady Anne Morrow Lindbergh is taken in…

Again, Vatican Punishes Gender Equality More Swiftly Than Sexual Abuse

By Patricia Miller

…on a technicality. Under an agreement with prosecutors, the archdiocese of Newark, NJ, agreed to supervise him and banned him from contact with children, but appointed him as chaplain of a hospital without informing the hospital of his history. Fugee continued to have contact with children, including traveling with them on retreats, until last year when a local newspaper brought his activities to light and a public outcry forced his ouster.

New Accusations Force the Question: Will Bishops “Be Held Accountable” on Sexual Abuse, as Francis Promised?

By Patricia Miller

…e long-time music director at St. Victoria Catholic Church in Victoria, Minnesota, the minute he found out that Moore had married his partner the previous weekend. And while it’s true that Kansas City Bishop Robert Finn, who was found guilty of failing to report a priest who had pornographic pictures of young girls on his computer, is now under investigation by the Vatican, it took two years for that to happen. I guess in Vatican time that’s swift…

How Much Did Jesus Care About Sex?

By Peter Laarman

…ople like Dreher in imagining that sexual desire is always and simply the enemy of godliness. Yes, as far as we know, both Jesus of Nazareth and Saul/Paul of Tarsus (“Our Founders”) were deeply ascetic people. Others walking in the Way have not been. For some, sexuality has represented a terrible struggle; for others, integrating a healthy sexuality into a thoroughly Christian life has seemed to pose no difficulties at all. Dietrich Bonhoeffer wa…

By Anthea Butler

…ter’s student at Fuller working the switchboard part-time, and the number one phone call that came through went something like this: “Can you connect me to C. Peter Wagner’s Church Growth Institute? I’d like to buy some materials.” No one was happier than I was when he retired from Fuller and moved to Colorado Springs! I felt like I worked at a catalog call-in center. Seriously. I would never have expected to be talking about Wagner in conjunction…

Episcopal Church Assault Data Reveals the Dark Side of Inclusive Christianity

By Charlotte Dalwood

…those victims who did report their victimization to Episcopal leaders, the number one assessment from both trans/non-binary and cisgender respondents was that “little or no change” came about as a result. 20.6% of transgender and non-binary survivors reported that they simply left the church altogether. By comparison, “only” 10.7% of cisgender women felt they had to leave. (Curiously, there’s no data on this front for LGB-identified Episcopalians….

Power Up: Turn Off the Cell Phone

By Daniel Schultz

…y. Anyway, this Bloomberg piece on power players eschewing the use of cell phones strikes me as of a piece with my executive’s perspective. Technology is for the people who work for you. The article literally discusses someone getting Third-World peasants to loan her a cell in a pinch. You don’t get much more entitled than that. Still, there is something to be said for the virtues of unhooking from technology. I sometimes wonder if the convenience…

By Rachel Wagner

…aul II, Pope Benedict XVI arranged for SMS messages to be sent to the cell phones of youth attending World Youth Day, a practice that has since become standard. This year Pope Benedict text-messaged a reminder about evangelism to all subscribers to the SMS service: “The Holy Spirit gave the Apostles and gives u the power boldly 2 proclaim that Christ is risen!—BXVI.” Recently Bishop Anthony Fisher announced the development of an associated online…

By Elizabeth Colmant Estes

…ol uniforms held their parents’ hands. A host of chatty young nuns tucked iPhones into the pockets of their steely gray habits. Absolutely no protest signs were allowed, yet church groups with people who spoke Spanish sported bright T-shirts with slogans about immigration reform. On line I heard that parishes with large numbers of undocumented immigrants had received many tickets. No outside food or water, statues, gifts or selfie sticks were perm…

We Went Through Amoris Laetitia Section by Section So You Wouldn’t Have To

By Anthony Adams

…is swept aside whenever it proves inconvenient or tiresome. The fear of loneliness and the desire for stability and fidelity exist side by side with a growing fear of entrapment in a relationship that could hamper the achievement of one’s personal goals. Pope Francis is right to wring his hands about the disposability to marriage these days. But then in Section 52 and onward, Francis makes it clear that same-sex unions are excluded from this “ide…
