No God but Country: The Religion of John McCain Has Something Important to Tell Us

By Kathryn Lofton

…you want is titter and amusement. But scholars of religious studies don’t offer much by way of demonstrative surprise at the obscenities of public faith. Like the manager of the strip club, they’ve seen it all before. Whisper to a religionist that the Christian candidate has a grandchild produced out of wedlock and you’ll get a game of one-upmanship. “Well, if you think that’s crazy, let me tell you about the nun in Dubuque who…the Hindu cleric wh…

Pope Francis Dithering About Women, Skittish About Cops

By Mary E. Hunt

…ot police its own, that thousands of children and vulnerable adults have suffered because church leaders refuse to give up power. Alas, the hierarchy rejects change, manically swatting it away at every turn while Catholics exit in droves. Even so timid a move as ordaining women deacons—that is, sacramentalizing and acknowledging that the bulk of the church’s ministry is now done by women—is too much for these men.

What Good Is It for Union to Gain the World, But Forfeit Its Soul?

By Yazmine Nichols

…ey are ‘liberal’. But when times get hard and money gets tight, they pull off that liberal mask […]. They feel sorry for the so-called underprivileged just as long as they can maintain their own privileges. Last week, Chris Hedges wrote a column in which fellow seminarian Robert Stephens and I denounced President Serene Jones’ plan to erect a high-rise luxury condominium building in Union’s main quad.

Neil Gorsuch Shows How Donald Trump Loses (Some) White Evangelical Christians

By John Stoehr

…l was sky-high across all demographics due to the “rally around the flag” effect. That was gone by April, and Trump’s approval went back to normal. The president still has white evangelical Christians in his back pocket. Still, it’s worth asking what would alienate them. There are probably a few who disapprove of the way he staged a “Bible photo op” in Lafayette Square in front of a Episcopalian Church near the White House. There are probably a fe…

Robbing Peter to Give Charity to Paul: The Dirty Secret Behind American ‘Giving’

By Peter Laarman

…vate charity can’t begin to keep up with what we might call manufactured suffering: the downward push on wages and public benefits even as the richest among us vacuum up ever more obscene wealth. Collins notes that the wealth of U.S. billionaires has ballooned by a full third during the Covid pandemic, even as 20 million people lost their jobs and more than half of these now face the end of emergency assistance. It’s important to understand that e…

‘Defund the Police’ Isn’t the Problem

By John Stoehr

…apparent tangent, might be the best way possible to illustrate the core difference between the parties, a difference that still confounds members of the press corps, because it belies their insistence that the parties are two sides of the same partisan coin. While one is all-in for wearing hats, the other isn’t. The Republicans are a party of authoritarian collectivism. The Democrats are a party of liberal individualism. One is better than the ot…

‘Murder Among the Mormons’ Ep 2 Recap: A Family Man With a Wild Side

By Benjamin E. Park

…a child on his knee and hearing the calming voice of a loving wife, then, offers a seemingly idyllic home life that we don’t like to associate with serial murderers. Americans typically like their villains clear-cut, the black hats of a morality play. But what makes Hofmann’s story so haunting is his chameleon persona, a living Rorschach test who can convincingly reflect only what the observer desires. The indefinable characteristic that allowed H…
