By Joanna Brooks

On Thursday, Newsweek/The Daily Beast reported that David Twede, one of the editors of Mormonthink.com, a website that addresses controversial issues in Mormon history and doctrine, was facing an LDS Church disciplinary council over “a series of articles he wrote this past week that were critical of Mitt Romney.” The Daily Beast linked to this article at Mormonthink.com, which suggests that Romney might be religiously obliged to take political i…

By Frederick Clarkson

…$57,000 to the candidates. The Springs Opportunity Fund, formed in February 2021, is one of dozens of political committees set up over the past decade by tax attorney Kathleen A. Kennedy (AKA “Katie Kennedy”) of Denver. No one knows who turned on the dark money spigot, but there was no question that these races were awash in more cash than they’d ever seen in a school board race.

That Jew Died For You… Dot Com

By Evan Derkacz

Below is a new little Easter greeting from the good people at Jews for Jesus (aka evangelical Christians) called, tastefully enough, “That Jew Died For You.” (Note to self: thatjewdiedforyou.org still available.)

Lamb-of-God chops. Wood-smoked bacon.” Th…

…e whole congregation. Thus, the issue was not, the SBC argues, Saddleback’s 2021 decision to bestow upon three women the title of pastor—and technically they are, of course, correct. Although, it must be noted, even this development led to an initial investigation by the SBC Credentials Committee and prompted statements from the outgoing SBC president and all four candidates for his replacement, all of whom affirmed their conviction that the Bible…

Has American Conservatism Abandoned the Christian Right?

By Bradley Onishi

…cles and a fellow at the National Review, put it this way: “Conservatism in 2021 means radicalism. We have to think of ourselves as counterrevolutionaries or restorationists who are overthrowing the regime.” While Hochman’s approach is jarring, there’s nothing novel about it. In 1964, Barry Goldwater, the GOP nominee for president, proclaimed that “extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice” and “moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virt…
