Praying for a Victory: Packed Supreme Court Takes Up Yet Another Christian Nationalist Cause

…is power to force the Biden administration to reinstate Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy. (Another Institute lawyer, Jeff Mateer, was nominated to the federal bench but his virulently anti-LGBTQ remarks that surfaced were apparently even too much for Trump and McConnell, and his nomination was pulled. He’s back at the Institute as Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer working on this case.) The change in the Court’s personnel should ne…

Schools Should Compete for Cash, Obama Says

…mmigration problem stems from its devastating and crippling effects inside Mexico. The only distinct winners have been the bi-national corporate elites and the US investor class. Yet the same well-placed and well-paid neo-liberal types who gave us the NAFTA and other skanky trade deals have the nerve to keep saying, “Trust us. We know better than you. This will be good for you.” Very much what Mr. Obama has been saying about his RTTT program. Ethi…

Knights of Columbus: Jousting to “Preserve Marriage”

…1.7 million members throughout the United States, Canada, the Philippines, Mexico, Poland, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Panama, the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, Guatemala, Guam and Spain. In a press release about the $1 million donation, spokesperson Patrick Korten stated: “From the day we were founded 126 years ago, strengthening and protecting the family has always been central to the mission of the Knights of Columbus.

Russian Zombies Follow in Pussy Riot Footsteps

…international phenomenon. Last November, nearly 10,000 people assembled in Mexico City to imitate the living dead, though Russia has attempted to suppress the spreading zombie phenomenon. Yakovlev received permission from the city to organize a “Zombie Parade” earlier this summer, but his permit was revoked. It is not entirely clear why the city decided to shut down the zombie parade, but it appears to have been in response to a coalition of relig…

‘Manufactured’ Smear Campaign Attempts to Intimidate Church ‘Fasting From Whiteness’— It Didn’t Work

…s from the Lakota, and from the United Church of the Philippines, and from Mexico and on and on. It’s truly been marvelous. Because of the history of systemic racism, many of the songs we’ve been singing are in the public domain, meaning that we’re not compensating artists of color fairly for their work the way we do with, say, hymns by Ruth Duck or Marty Haugen. In response to this reality, we’re following a practice started by the United Parish…

An Immoderate Proposal: Sam Rodriguez, “Centrist” Evangelical, to Give Benediction at RNC

…ificant presence in the swing states of Nevada, Florida, Colorado, and New Mexico, where they may play a decisive role this year.” But Molly Rohal, a communications associate with the Pew Hispanic Center, said, “We do not have large enough samples in our national surveys to analyze Latino evangelicals at the state level. The sample sizes in the state-level exit polls from 2008 are also a bit too small to analyze Latino evangelicals separately.” In…

Trump’s Mormon Problem

…Trump’s harsh statements about Mexicans. Mueller astutely points out that Mexico boasts the LDS Church’s second largest Mormon population behind the U.S., and that it is “likely that there are today more nonwhite Mormons than white ones.” Given all that, Mormon resistance to Trump’s candidacy clearly grows from both present circumstances and longer historical patterns. The sizeable number of Mormons who have libertarian leanings also may be reset…

Trump’s Muslim Ban and the History of Stolen Citizenship in America

…the 1800s. Moreover, lest we forget, the entire Southwest was once part of Mexico. By idealizing a heteronormative white Christian state, Trump is embracing a view of America that never existed, and is assuring a large swath of the country that it can avoid diversity and demographic change. In doing so, he is also denying the legal and symbolic citizenship of millions. While legal scholars—and many in Trump’s own party—affirm the steadfastness of…

All Candy, No Jesus: Halloween in America

…It got me thinking about the odd cultural bird that is Halloween—America’s number two holiday in terms of money spent—a holiday with deep “pagan” or “old religion” roots and the site of two Catholic feast days commemorating our dead friends and allies: All Souls’ Day on November 1, and All Saints’ Day on November 2. As a bonus, October 31 marks the kickoff of the Reformation, when Luther posted his theses on the door of the Castle Church of Witten…

The “Gay” Princess Di Bible

…The Bible to be called ‘The Princess Diana Bible’. Revision Studios in New Mexico, USA will fund the new translation of the Bible, in which God says it is better to be gay than straight. Mitchell also hopes to adapt the book for a two-part mini-series, ‘The Gay Old Testament’ and ‘The Gay New Testament’. “There are many different versions of the Bible, I don’t see why we can’t have one,” said Mitchell. Aside from a little problem figuring out the…
