The national bishops’ conference has been vocal supporters of immigration reform, but the diversity of migrants also challenges the church on a local level….

What Will Orthodox ‘Republicanity’ Look Like?

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…that Democrats need to get better at telling stories than at crunching the numbers, in this battle of the budget, the numbers actually matter. Hell, it’s a fight about numbers. And balance.

Reading Beinart and Lerner as Gaza Burns

By Ira Chernus

…on the rationalist ideals of modernity, Lerner’s Judaism is essentially a spiritual attitude of love, compassion, and generosity. So I assume he extended the same generosity of spirit to Beinart and all the accolades he received, welcoming him with open arms into the community of peace-seeking Jews that Lerner has written and spoken for—and to some extent created—for so many years.

…ester NY, who lost his daughter Jean, a flight attendant on board American Airlines Flight 11. Mr. Roger said he hoped the pope would say prayers for the place, for the people, and for his daughter Jean. Praying at a unlighted candle next to the prie-dieu Pope Benedict XVI used on his visit, the Pope offered those prayers silently while looking at the south pool of the memorial.

Heaven: Our Enduring Fascination with the Afterlife

By Lisa Miller

…or something like a body with which to enjoy it. The critical verse here is 1 Corinthians 15, in which Paul explains to those who doubt the truth of the resurrection that the body is like a seed—and when it rises in the resurrection is both has the properties of a seed and of something else altogether. “What is sown is perishable, what is raised is imperishable… It is sown a physical body, it is raised a spiritual body.” Generations of Christians…
