…t a lot of interesting historical material on the connections and overlaps between homosexuality and fatness and eating in American culture. There’s an article to be written on American moral crusaders who wrote about both issues. Peter Wyden, an executive editor of Ladies’ Home Journal, wrote popular books on each, and there are others.

…ption coverage battles and the upcoming “fortnight for freedom.” Gallicho examines the Knights of Columbus tax return, and finds that it “donated about $1 million to the Vatican.

Sex and the (Hipster) Church—Just a Gimmick?

By Nicole Greenfield

…e. There are no gimmicks or publicity stunts. There are no cute phrases—“sex is between the ears before it’s between the legs, it’s north before it’s south, it’s mental before it’s genital,” as Young told the Hillsong gathering—and there is no self-promotion. It is, or at least strives to be, an actual conversation. “If people are hooking up or having sex, and they don’t seem to have any problem with it, there’s no judgment from me,” Aaron Monts,…
