“That Guy In Rome”: A Catholic Town in Idaho Where The Pope is a Heretic

By Jason Wilson

…Prior of the Post Falls community, and he stresses that the SSPX is primarily a priestly order, and the fathers are not specifically trained to be parish priests. Vassal is urbane, mid-40s and speaks with a heavy French accent. It took some doing to get him to sit down, and he admits that the order is media-shy due to a tendency on the part of reporters to “reduce matters of faith to sociology or politics.” He steers clear of culture war topics: h…

Does Traditional Christian Marriage Just Mean “Not Gay”?

By Daniel Silliman

…’s ordinance was written in a different context, though; it didn’t originally apply to weddings since same-sex weddings weren’t yet legal in the state. That context changed with a federal court ruling. Now, according to the Knapps and those rallying to the cause, the city is threatening to punish the Pentecostal ministers with mounting fines of up to $1,000 per day and imprisonment if they refuse to perform same-sex weddings. The city hasn’t actua…

Trump’s Evangelical Support in the Gut, not the Theology

By Donovan Schaefer

…table ideas with a friendly face. Trump has no mask. His politics are nakedly ugly and offered with a sneer. The irony is that the candidates who are best at affect-masking this year (Rubio and Kasich) are falling behind. They seem moderate, which would make them palatable in November. But the Republican rank and file—including a plurality of right-wing evangelicals—don’t want politicians who seem moderate. They want the masks off and the lights o…

Conservative Bishops Get “Different Translation” Dialing Back Language on LGBT Acceptance

By Patricia Miller

…attempting to push their values on women in the developing world, who really, really wanted big families despite a widespread unmet need for contraception. Regardless, Francis apparently heard the criticism—although Kasper has since denied giving the interview (Pentin is standing by his reporting)—and added South African Cardinal Wilfrid Napier, who has been an outspoken critic of the mid-term report, to the committee charged with drafting the fi…

Why Don’t “Nones” Vote?

By Sarah Posner

…ut the nones, the much-discussed segment of the population that is supposedly going to shift our politics away from the control of religious conservatives, has turned out steady percentages of voters over the last three cycles (11%, 12%, and 12%, respectively), despite growing as a segment of overall population. Based on a 2012 Pew survey, I wrote two years ago: there are now as many “nones” as there are white evangelicals – each makes up 19% of t…

Christian Morality vs. Free Markets: The Constants of a Conservative

By Eric C. Miller

…tionalist—perhaps theocratic—candidates. If memory serves, there was actually a great Daily Show segment on this very point during the 2012 election where John Oliver accused Rick Santorum of missing this particular memo on how to dial back his didactic religious rhetoric. The easy (but also the right) answer to your question is that both principle and electability spur the intra-conservative debate over freedom vs. virtue. In fact, in chapter 4 o…

Infanticide Still Not a Growing Movement: 30 Years of Pro-Life Fudging

By Daniel Silliman

…eath a child up to the age of 4 or 5. The report has been accepted—apparently uncritically—by Gene Veith, who teaches literature at Patrick Henry College (whose president just resigned), by a variety of conservative bloggers, and by many more on Facebook. The evidence for the growing trend is nonexistent. McArdle herself admits the report is based on anecdote. She cites two pro-life advocates who engage college students in debates about the beginn…

‘Good Wife’ Alicia Florrick is an Atheist (and Drinks a Lot)

By Lisa Webster

…smart. The kid: Gee thanks, Mom. Don’t act so surprised. Over at The Friendly Atheist, Hemant Mehta has a transcript of another conversation from this same episode, equally direct: Alicia: I can’t believe in God, Grace. Grace: I know… why not? Alicia: I don’t feel it the way you do. I don’t feel the need. Grace: Then what’s the struggle? Alicia: … Politics. Good writing (which is why I watch, I always tell myself). Or maybe it is the red wine. Any…

Karen Armstrong, Caped Anti-Anti-Muslim Crusader?

By Brook Wilensky-Lanford

…t “we need raunchier stories that reflect how complex our Muslim lives really are,” and Armstrong would hardly seem to be an ambassador for either raunch or complexity, don’t count her out yet. Maybe someone like Armstrong, who is, like Affleck, a beloved public figure not perceived to have a stake in the religions that she defends, has the platform to say “this is wrong,” and have people listen. As she writes, we must “take responsibility for the…

ISIS, Walking Dead and Our Zombie Moral Compass

By Evan Derkacz

…mention of ISIS connected to the Walking Dead Season 5 premiere. In a ghastly early scene, Glenn, Darrell, Rick and Bob (in that order) kneel over a trough beside several extras whose throats are cut by “the bad people” at Terminus after they’re whacked in the head with a baseball bat. It is, as Vulture’s Richard Rys put it, “a disturbing echo of real-life current events that the writers surely didn’t intend, as images of ISIS beheadings still lin…
