By Cristina Rosetti

…ortant context for Banner and illuminates the reality that, while small in numbers, Mormon fundamentalism is relatively common. But, what is a Mormon fundamentalist? It was almost 50 years after the death of the religion’s founder that the LDS Church began the long process of ending the practice of polygamy. In 1890, under pressure from the United States government that sought to seize Church assets and disincorporate the religion, the Church rele…

By Mary E. Hunt

…es for RD). She currently teaches at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). Her very creative recent course on “How to Talk about Abortion” included a wide variety of perspectives and religious traditions. A university-based program to train future activist scholars in solid, well-founded arguments for justice developed in the crucible of theory and praxis will be a distinctly Catholic contribution. The Sister Donna Quinn Clinic Esco…

This World Refugee Day, Rising White Nationalism Meets the Largest Refugee Population in History — Which is No Coincidence

By Sara Kamali

…o work—as citizens themselves. This year also bears witness to the highest number of refugees in history, along with a stubborn strain of white nationalism embedded in politics from the local to the federal levels across the globe. This parallel is no coincidence. As I discuss in my book, Homegrown Hate: Why White Nationalists and Militant Islamists Are Waging War against the United States, refugees and immigrants of color, in particular, have bee…

Fresh From Horrors of Draconian Anti-Abortion Laws, Christian Right Hoosiers Consider Draconian Anti-Abortion Law

By Chrissy Stroop

…omment, Braunlin told RD that IRCRC has been in communication with its New Mexico and Ohio affiliates “about ways to support people who need services.” Hoosier reproductive justice advocates are also working with their counterparts in Illinois, who are “preparing to receive patients from here.” She also provided RD with a broader assessment of the state of affairs in Indiana, noting that, while the Republican faction that includes Rokita wants a t…

New Report Mapping Christian Nationalism by State Suggests Election Need Not be Played Out on Christian Nationalist Terms

By Daniel Schultz

…olina, and Wisconsin? They’re all right around the national average. Those numbers are not destiny, however. Conservative Utah has low levels of agreement with Christian nationalism, at just 28%. Meanwhile its solidly Democratic neighbor New Mexico is a bit higher, at 32%. Still, the results are significant for understanding the political scene today. Christian nationalism should not be ignored or downplayed, but at the same time the segment of th…

Well, the Harris-Trump Debate Happened — Now Enjoy Your Freedom and Choose Wisely

By Mary Rambaran-Olm

…e “average citizen” were overshadowed by talk of China, Russia, Venezuela, Mexico, Israel, Iran, Germany, Ukraine, Afghanistan, the Middle East, Yemen, and those faceless “migrants” coming from countries where, according to Trump, violence is actually down (due, we’re left to assume, to their departure). You see, Harris touted that there were no “American military boots on the ground around the world,” as though the US doesn’t have a whopping 750…

By Bradley Onishi

…MS-13 and conflate them with a larger group, such as migrants coming from Mexico and other parts of Central and South America. This is part of a larger degeneration of our public sphere into tribal epistemology, as David Roberts outlined at Vox in a column last month. “Information is evaluated based not on conformity to common standards of evidence or correspondence to a common understanding of the world, but on whether it supports the tribe’s va…

Catholics Are Facing a Very Real Emergency

By Mary E. Hunt

…rom Pennsylvania were sent to a treatment center for sexual abusers in New Mexico and later assigned to parishes, hospitals, and other institutions in that locale. The mind boggles at the extent of the abuse pandemic and bishops’ chess moves. To expect priests who have lived under the current way of doing things to have anything helpful to preach or teach about it is naïve. Without serious remedial courses on administration, public safety, duty to…

Debating God: Atheist and Evangelical Face Off at Notre Dame

By Nathan Schneider

…if understated. (Compare this, for instance, with a recent Craig debate in Mexico, where the podium was in the middle of a boxing ring.) The debaters sat onstage at a table with the moderator between them—Michael Rea, who heads Notre Dame’s prestigious Center for the Philosophy of Religion. They each gave their remarks by rising, one at a time, to separate podiums on either side of the table. William Lane Craig had on his signature attire: a blue…

Canadian Courts Consider Decriminalization of Polygamy

By Joanna Brooks

…eligious and civil liberties. Polygamy-practicing Mormons began fleeing to Mexico and Canada in the 1880s, after US Supreme Court Justices upheld the conviction of George Reynolds on polygamy charges in 1879, declaring polygamy an “odious” “Asiatic” practice not protected by First Amendment freedom of religion guarantees. Mormons founded and continue to make up a significant proportion of Canadian towns such as Cardston, in Alberta. The Bountiful…
