Synod or Sin Oddly: Vatican Encourages Catholics to ‘Walk Together’ as Long as the Hierarchy Leads the Way and Decides the Route

…ing for something to do. In any case, the Vatican-requested ten-page-report-per-diocese doesn’t leave much room for depth or detail, and offers a ready excuse for why certain, shall we say, sticky wicket issues will probably not see the light of day. At a time when the institutional church’s prestige is in the cellar—ask the hundreds of thousands of victims of clergy sexual abuse in France, just to take a small sample—it’s obvious why some in the…

‘Exporting Garbage to the Nations’: Conservative Christian Rifts Spreading Like Cracked Glass

…ported on Sept. 26 that Lancaster Patriot was edited by Trey Garrison, a 51-year-old Holocaust-mocking Twitter troll who for years embodied the online persona “Spectre,” while podcasting for the white nationalist organization The Right Stuff. Even as the paper denounced fellow evangelicals and conservatives whom they deemed compromised in November of 2022, Dave Stoltzfus, the CEO of The Lancaster Patriot had to try to explain his way out of appare…

GOP Candidate Allegedly Orchestrating Shooting of Democrats’ Homes is no Accident

…in the U.S., but with the Big Lie, conservatives have found a myth, a stab-in-the-back-myth, which serves directly as a tool of demonization and mobilization. As religion scholar and podcaster Bradley Onishi put it in an article in Religion Dispatches last year: “By telling the story of the Big Lie, Trump legitimizes his followers’ grievance. But it goes further than that. The myth legitimizes violence against those who are trying to ‘steal’ the…

Should We Expect to See a Rise in Christian Nationalist Violence in the US?

…015, a Pittsburgh synagogue in 2018, at three different spas in the Atlanta-area in 2021, and at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York in 2022; as well as dozens of other instances of vigilante violence against religious minorities. And, of course, it was on full display during the 2021 Capitol insurrection two years ago. Given the dynamics present in the United States today (just look at last week’s CPAC), we can expect Christian nationalist viole…

CNN’s Disastrous ‘Town Hall’ with Trump Put the Country at Risk

…he all-important end of preserving a White Christian America justifies a by-any-means-necessary politics—legitimates support for Trump. I’ll give the last word today to Michael Fanone, a former police officer who was at the Capitol on the day of the Jan. 6, 2021, attacks, and who wrote an op-ed in Rolling Stone calling out CNN’s irresponsibility in giving Trump their stage. I witnessed this assault firsthand as an officer with the Metropolitan Pol…

Conservative Christians Insist the Toxic Theology Portrayed in the Duggar Family Doc is ‘Fringe’ — But is it Really All That Different?

…ddlers in order to “wear them out.” Baucham, who helped popularize the Stay-at-Home-Daughter Movement, has written that a father’s job “is to present our daughters to their husbands as virgin brides.” Baucham is not an outlier among TGC’s contributors. TGC council member Kevin DeYoung wrote an editorial for the site in 2020 advocating that Christians “strongly consider having more children than you think you can handle” as a “culture war strategy”…

America Appears to be Heading for a Religious Civil War

…y of Americans (46%) believed a future civil war was likely. It is tempting—and comforting—to dismiss such views as far-fetched. The United States, after all, remains the world’s richest, most technologically sophisticated, and most militarily powerful country. It dominates the fields of medical research, artificial intelligence and robotics, aerospace and aviation, higher education, and entertainment. Surely, such a country would be immune from t…

The Link Between Texas’ Law Requiring ‘In God We Trust’ Signs in Schools and the January 6 Insurrection

…Christian Nationalist groups bent on imposing that ideology on the country—and schoolchildren—through state legislatures. It’s the ALEC of Christian Nationalism, as the headline of the RD piece that broke the story put it. Baptizing itself Project Blitz was probably a little too on the Nazi nose, though it’s since rechristened itself Freedom For All, which is at once Orwellian and milquetoast. The group has published several versions of playbooks…

Columbus Day Celebrates a Christian Doctrine That Authorized Centuries of Violence — and Continues to Threaten American Democracy

…rs of the United States magically endowed the fledgling nation with a three-hundred-year pedigree, a genesis story whose “in the beginning” implied its birth was the outworking of Providence. They invented a past that gave their present holdings, and their rapacious ambitions, the veneer of divine inevitability. The sweeping power of this narrative strategy, however, lay not just in the epic voyages of Columbus, but in a religious doctrine he reli…

Netanyahu’s Genocidal Religious Rhetoric isn’t Just an Appeal to the Israeli Right — He Has Another Constituency in Mind

McIntosh, Native people are called, “heathen,” “barbarous” and “Indian savages,” while the settlers are called “Christians” and “civilized inhabitants.” Europeans are said to have a right to the land because they brought “civilization and Christianity.” The religious rhetoric of heathens who had to c…
