Why I Miss Scalia: SCOTUS Punts on Religious Freedom

By Patricia Miller

…oy to learn which plans aren’t offering contraceptive coverage and whom to contact to let them know their insurer will cover contraception anyway. It seems to envision some form of the “compromise” it suggested in its equally bizarre request for additional briefs after the initial hearing. Under this compromise, the plaintiffs would contract for a plan that didn’t provide contraceptive coverage in the first place, which suggests that the Little Si…

Each individual set is followed by a documentary segment that shows the individuals as people. The humor in the movie is predictable. Each set can be divided into halves, with the first half focusing on ethnic/racial identity and the second half talking more generically about being Muslim. The ethnic…

…nship. There was a twinkle in his eye when he said that. Forbidden further contact with his lover, Merton was granted permission to leave the Abbey for a trip to the Far East in the spring of 1968. His main purpose was to give a lecture in Bangkok on comparative monasticism and mysticism, but there was much more to the trip than that, as his published journals now reveal.

Forget “Nasty,” Trump’s Got a “Disgusting” Problem

By Karen E. Park

….” In Mark 5: 25-34 Jesus heals a hemorrhaging woman. This woman had been ousa en rhusei haimatos, or in a state of blood flow, for 12 years. To be clear, this is menstrual or uterine blood, another disgust trigger for Trump. This woman’s condition would have disgusted her community. She would have been in a permanent state of ritual uncleanness. Her mere touch would have defiled Jesus, but Jesus was not disgusted by her. In the story he feels her…

…ws and kicks they began to flout Judas, and they led him with fury into Jerusalem… The drama of misrecognition in the GBarn continues in its account of his trial, culminating with an account of the crucifixion in which Judas ironically deems God’s judgment unjust: Whereupon they condemned two robbers with him to the death of the cross. So they led him to Mount Calvary, where they used to hang malefactors, and there they crucified him naked, for th…

The letter even specified that the letter itself should not be printed or distributed, only read by the bishop to congregations.
