By Andrew L. Seidel

…ssrooms in 16 states this fall. New laws in Louisiana, Arkansas, Kentucky, Florida, and South Dakota encourage or require public schools to display the divisive national motto: In God We Trust.

Beyond the Miniskirt-Wearing Nun: What Catholic Reform Looks Like

By Colleen McDannell

…your interest? Several years ago, the Catholic church my parents go to in Florida decided to renovate their sanctuary. What had once been a spare, modernist space was transformed into a traditional one with the addition of a large crucifix, statues of the saints, and Stations of the Cross.

By Bradley Onishi

…ace theory, book bans, dramatic changes to school curricula in places like Florida and Texas and across the South. Is the Doctrine of Discovery at play in these issues? I think it’s at play. And what’s preventing us from seeing it for what it really is is that it remains the blessing of the church on racial violence. That’s a hard thing to see, I think, but I think it’s an important thing to see if we’re not going to repeat those mistakes in the f…

At the Florida event, Huckabee suggested that America with secular governance was just like Nazi Germany. Huckabee had been participating in similar even…

By Bill Berkowitz

…said the Rev. Joel Hunter, an evangelical megachurch pastor from Orlando, Florida, and another advisory board member. “So I am not enthusiastic, but I’m not disappointed, because we knew what to expect.
