The Left Behind: Why Are White American Christians So Racist?

By Daniel Schultz

…ow dark the shadow side of that same instinct can be. When “the way things used to be” involves poisonous racial resentment, the desire to preserve tradition becomes corrupted. Traditionalism isn’t in itself bad, but it can promote social rigidity just by bringing together people like-minded in their stubbornness; at worst, it can lead to radicalization. In fact, radicalization seems to be the bigger picture of white Christianity, and white Americ…

How the Right’s War on ‘Critical Race Theory’ Taps into the Powerful Religion of American Innocence

By Peter Laarman

…tern prep schools and fomenting outraged legislative resolutions in statehouses all across the country. The religion of American Greatness has no shortage of Democratic adherents; it is a fully bipartisan creed. No one doubts that we are living through a moment of racial reckoning. The use of the “reckoning” frame has already attained a well-deserved cliche status. But historical reckonings don’t necessarily resolve themselves in positive ways (no…

Vatican Official Challenges Excommunication in Brazil

By Frances Kissling

…women a year die in childbirth; some from botched abortions, but many because they could not get an abortion in high risk pregnancies. If doctors had some sense that some, high in the hierarchy, recognized that these situations are moral dilemmas in which conscience must decide what is right or wrong, they might decide that they can provide abortion services. And of course this is what Cardinal Cardoso Sobrinho wants to prevent. You can bet that…

Sikh Temple Shooting: Of Martian Rovers and Terror in Holy Spaces

By Jodi Eichler-Levine

…ppeals to what governor Scott Walker called “evil”. Americans could indeed use a primer on most world traditions. But what I wonder is how a desire for empathy might square up against the dichotomized language of “evil.” As Amardeep Singh eloquently argues, the hatred directed towards Sikhs might connect to a visceral reaction to embodied religious otherness. How do we move from promoting basic facts to combatting that profane shudder of hatred? T…

Christocrat Competition

By Sarah Posner

…or of the Senate, asserting that America was on the road to moral ruin because of the separation of church and state. In the speech, Miller backed former Judge Roy Moore (of Ten Commandments fame) and the crafters of the Constitution Restoration Act, which would have stripped federal courts of jurisdiction to hear Establishment Clause claims. He said: I stand shoulder to shoulder, not only with my Senate cosponsors and Chief Justice Roy Moore of A…

Pagan Soccer Mom Wins Blog Contest Despite “Biblical Womanhood” Opposition

By Julie Ingersoll

…) to potentially controversial (adoption and LGBT issues). But it’s a safe bet this community didn’t expect a “best blog” competition to devolve into a witch hunt—literally. The “Faith Blog” category seemed dominated by homeschooling, “Biblical Womanhood,” “Biblical Patriarchy,” and so-called family values moms, and who apparently thought they own the category of faith (though Circle of Moms doesn’t exhibit any signs of being explicitly religious)…

Dads Against Daughters Dating

By Julie Ingersoll

…unctioning autonomously from male authority, even in the process of finding a mate. Girls are to rely on their fathers to do this for them and remain in submission to their fathers until they have been given over to submit to their husbands. These organizations all promote literature, lectures, conferences, and other materials intended to promote this perspective, as well as the starkly delineated gender norms and expectations upon which this view…

The Man in the Red Dress: My Unlikely Friendship with Cardinal Francis George

By Cathleen Falsani

…United States church that demanded zero tolerance in cases of clergy sex abuse. Still, his personal pastoral response to the emotional and spiritual needs of clergy abuse victims was not what it might have been, at least not in the early days of the scandal. I held Cardinal George’s feet to the flames on many occasions and often wrote things I’m sure he wished I hadn’t, not least of all his 2006 mishandling of the case of Daniel McCormack, a young…

Mormon Bloggernacle is No Choir

By Krista Kapralos

…themselves? The Unruly Gathering When a Feb. 24 Religion Dispatches story used the term “Bloggernacle” to describe non-academic Mormon blogs, the reaction was swift and sharp. Academics, defending Times and Seasons, By Common Consent, and other doctrine-focused blogs, complained that the Bloggernacle had been co-opted, while Mormon mommy bloggers (women who write primarily about home life and children) and lifestyle bloggers retorted that they ar…

‘Soul Murder’ in the American Workplace

By Peter Laarman

…“getting screwed” tier of the labor market and there may actually be less free-floating, job-related anxiety because who really has time to be anxious when you are being pummeled every day by outright economic violence? I.e., by wages so low you need two or three jobs to make a “living,” by hours that keep changing, by bosses who can and do harass and threaten you (especially if you try to unionize), by low or no job-related benefits, and by the…
