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)…

The Death of a Secularist

By Austin Dacey

…onse. In this, only the secular way of death fully honors the dead, where “better place” platitudes betray him. Thomas’ paradoxically titled “Refusal to Mourn” is in fact the refusal to mitigate grief, to paper over the universe’s forever-loss of singular person in guaze-promises of eternity: “I shall not murder/The mankind of her going with a grave truth.” Yes, dying may be harder for the atheist. But what I cannot understand, and reject totall…

‘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…

The Plot to Turn the Synod into a “Plot”

By Patricia Miller

…nt of the total number of the members mentioned in articles V and VIII. Despite this, Douthat assures us that “as a Catholic,” he expects “the plot to ultimately fail; where the pope and the historic faith seem to be in tension, my bet is on the faith.” It’s a measure of how deeply conservative Catholics identify the “faith” with the doctrinal orthodoxy of JP II and Benedict that Douthat actually believes he speaks for Catholics more authentically…

Catholic Voters No Longer Beholden to Bishops and Abortion

By Mary E. Hunt

…oncluded that there is more than one “intrinsic evil” in the world, a safe bet given the myriad challenges to human life abroad among us. He has said that Barack Obama will do a better job of operationalizing Catholic values than his opponent. Hardly defections from the anti-abortion camp, these respected scholars are simply broadening their definition of “pro-life” and moving toward a “seamless garment” view which allows for more than one issue t…

The End of Roe and the Assault on Trans People — Fail to See the Bigger Picture and We’ll Never Be Free

By Jacqui Lewis

…from the same evil corrupting our public life. And none of us will win the freedoms we deserve unless we do it together. Liberation is collective. This means that no person is free while their neighbor is shackled, but it also means that we will never break these chains without a universal and reflexive commitment to one another’s thriving. Abortion rights and gender care help people achieve the fullness of who they know they’re called to be. And…

The Subway Sandwich Artist Argument; When “Religious Freedom” Isn’t About Religious Freedom

By Patrick Hornbeck

…only consider granting a religious exception if the law “involved not the Free Exercise Clause alone, but that Clause in conjunction with other constitutional protections.” Scalia’s caveat invites the kind of argument that Phillips and his supporters are making in Masterpiece Cakeshop, namely, that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission’s decree that mandated Phillips to respond equally to custom orders for same- and opposite-sex wedding cakes burd…

By Mary Barker

…y, for example, the Prophet Brigham Young opened Mormon churches for their use until they could build their own houses of worship. Knowing something about the Catholic Mass, the Mormon director of the Saint George Tabernacle Choir directed his group in the singing of the Catholic liturgy, in Latin, so that a high Mass could be sung for the newly arrived Father Scanlon in 1873. Catholics have been extended free airtime on Mormon-owned radio station…

Rubio Leaves Science to the Theologians, or the Free Market. Or Something.

Unnatural Disaster: When Conservative Theology & The Free Market Meet Wildfires

By Paul Harvey

…the field being coordinated by a top-down incident command system; and we use many of the same communications technologies and terms to implement tactical field maneuvers. So war talk seems nearly as irresistible to reporters and government officials as is the visual coverage of suppression efforts. When we combine use of the war metaphor with the immediate suppression expectation, it casts fire in the role of relentless and implacable enemy. Any…
