Beverly Cleary, Author of the Ramona Series, Understood Children, Shoes, School, Words, and How it Feels to be Heard, or Misunderstood

By Amy Laura Hall

The world was suddenly full of words that Ramona could read.” Cleary’s stories about the wrong words—including Ramona’s attempt at a shocking curse word (“Guts!”)—are sometimes funny, but her books are the opposite of “Kids Say the Darndest Things.” Isn’t it funny when children try on words? Maybe. And, if you laugh at them, they may stop talking to y…

Healed of the Sin of Religion: At Church with Sara Miles

By Lisa Webster

…ns. The process of remembering, rebuilding through story, is incredibly eye-opening. And the temptation is always to make it into a neat narrative, instead of to actually pay attention and say: where are the ragged edges in this story? Instead, make it a parable, not a fable.

By Sarah Posner

…nd. They argued that America was at a “tipping point where the traditional commitment of our government to protecting and advancing the common good is in very real danger of being dismantled for generations.” They accused Ryan’s defenders, who claimed his economic views were in line with his Catholicism, of going “beyond highlighting the aspects of Catholic moral teaching with which his political positions are laudably consistent, to argue that hi…

As Pat Robertson Retires, Here Are 10 of His Most Cringeworthy Moments

By Chrissy Stroop

…nd 55 hosting its signature “news” magazine broadcast, The 700 Club, the 91-year-old Southern Baptist minister and Christian media mogul Pat Robertson is retiring. Many religion journalists and commentators are writing about the news in ways that normalize Robertson, a right-wing Christian extremist whose legacy shouldn’t be soft-pedaled.
