Top Five (Less Sensational, But More Dangerous) Things to Remember About Pat Robertson (1930-2023)

By Mark Hulsether

…ng the NCR or pressing liberals to be less wishy-washy in distancing themselves from him, and I wrote a book with a section on the NCR that ends with this reaction to a conservative leader from a radical Nicaraguan priest: “I do not see how we have the same faith; we do not believe in the same Christ.” Still, coming from precisely this posture, I do worry about mocking Robertson in ways that help rather than hurt his cause. So here is my own “top…

Romney’s Religion of Happiness vs. Gingrich’s Religion of Grievance

By Sarah Posner

…seriously, though. He vowed, “we are prepared to take steps to defend ourselves from an aggressive judgeship who thinks he can dictate to us our very relationship with God.” In the most recent Public Policy Polling survey, Gingrich is leading Romney among Florida evangelicals, 37-33%. But the evangelical makeup of the Republican electorate (38%) in Florida is virtually the reverse of South Carolina, where they comprised 65% of voters, and which is…

Graham Whistles “Dixie” on Morning Joe

By Anthea Butler

Franklin Graham’s Fat Tuesday appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe came with his usual “dog whistle” to the Tea Party and Teavangelicals about Obama being a Muslim. Graham has done this before, back in April of 2011, when he discussed President Obama on This Week with Christiane Amanpour. Graham threw out all of the dog whistles he could, bringing up Jeremiah Wright, and pushing back on the panels’ direct question to him as to whether President Obam…

Pope’s US Visit Provokes Intense Attention; New Vatican Book on Man-Woman Complementarity & New Int’l Report on Christian Role Models for LGBT Equality; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…known as bacha bazi, or boy play; powerful Afghan men often surround themselves with young teenagers as a mark of social status. The Times editorialized, “The Pentagon’s indulgent, even complicit, attitude toward pedophiles among the Afghan militias that it funded and trained is indefensible, at odds with American values and with international laws Washington has taken the lead in promoting.” China: Filmmaker sues over censorship A documentarian…

Josh Duggar and the Purity Lie

By Sarah Posner

…as a teenager. In a statement to People magazine, Duggar, now 27, said: Twelve years ago, as a young teenager, I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret. I hurt others, including my family and close friends. . . . I confessed this to my parents who took several steps to help me address the situation. We spoke with the authorities where I confessed my wrongdoing, and my parents arranged for me and those affected by my act…

International ‘Pro-Family’ Summit Calls for New Anti-Gay Laws: Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

American Evangelicals Attend Anti-Gay Summit in Moscow We noted last week that the World Congress of Families’ planned summit seemed to be going ahead generally as planned, though without the official WCF imprimatur. That’s exactly what happened this week, with WCF officials Don Feder and Larry Jacobs in attendance, along with Brian Brown of the National Organization for Marriage. Miranda Blue reports at Right Wing Watch that the event, whose the…

The NFL’s Prayer Problem

By Sarah Posner

Kansas City Chiefs safety Husain Abdullah was penalized last night for praying in the end zone after returning an interception for a touchdown. Tim Tebow has similarly prayed — although, apparently, the two prayers aren’t “similar:” one is Christian, and one is Muslim. The Kansas City Star reports Abdullah is a “devout Muslim” who promised himself that if he scored a touchdown, “I’m going to prostrate before God in the end zone.” Last night, he w…

LGBT’s, Opponents Prep for Vatican Synod; UN Rights Council Adopts LGBT Resolution; Brazil’s Evangelicals Eye Presidency; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…licals have not widely adopted the Religious Right’s economic platform. “Silva and Rousseff both call themselves socialists and push for robust welfare programs.” Yet similarities with the “religious right” abound. Brazil’s evangelical faithful have turned their opposition to gay marriage and abortion, which are both illegal here, into key national political issues. Funded by the tithes their followers are asked to pay, the more successful evangel…

Trick or….Bible: Christians Coping with Halloween

By Maxwell Grant

…nvironments like shopping malls or blocked off streets with an army of adult supervision, lest any genuine evil intrude. It’s an odd thing to try to control a holiday that emphasizes our lack of control, and to keep evil pleasantly fictional by insulating ourselves from the fact that it is not. As a father, I’m all for it. But as a pastor, I’m not sure that a well-intentioned reminder of the love of Jesus and the power of his Word, dropped in my t…

Church=State in Putin’s Orthodox Empire?; Evangelical-Orthodox Anti-Gay Alliance; Malaysian Court Protects Transwomen; Catholicism (Still) Declining in Latin America; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…2010. In comparison, Pew estimates 94% of Latin Americans identified themselves as Catholics in 1950. The decline comes despite the 2013 selection of Argentine-born Pope Francis , who has proved enormously popular with Catholics world-wide. Many had hoped a Latin American leader atop the church would stem the slide in the region, which is still home to more than 425 million Catholics. “Catholics love Pope Francis,” said Neha Sahgal, a senior resea…
