By Peter Montgomery

…lical fundamentalists, they wrote, is the xenophobia and Islamophobia that promotes “walls and purifying deportations.” “Triumphalist, arrogant and vindictive ethnicism is actually the opposite of Christianity,” they said. AP’s Rachel Zoll called La Civilta Cattolica Antonio Spadaro “a close confidant” of Pope Francis. Conservative Archbishop Charles Chaput responded in a commentary, calling the article “an exercise in dumbing down and inadequatel…

For Many Christian Zionists, Israeli Protesters are a Threat to God’s Plan

By Aidan Orly

…s history, the CHPP blames Israeli protesters and—again, using antisemitic code—their supposed “globalist” funders for dividing Israeli society. (To add to the irony, just last week U.S. evangelical groups railed against Netanyahu’s far-right government for authoring a bill that would limit Christian groups’ ability to proselytize in Israel. In response, Netanyahu froze the bill). This isn’t the first time Christian Zionists have condemned Jews wh…

Values Voters Summit: Preaching Wins the Morning

By Sarah Posner

…ed into the “founding principles,” “Judeo-Christian” foundation, and other code, but they did more. They wept; they told stories about soldiers and family members; they evoked imagery of mountains climbed and enemies vanquished. Mitt Romney, though? Not so much. Speaking directly after Pence, who since the inaugural Values Voters Summit in 2006, has always invoked the language of the religious right base, Romney was at a disadvantage. He was borin…

Devil’s Bookmark: Doubting God’s Existence, but Angry Nevertheless

By Bernard Schweizer

…mes below the dividing line stand for fictional characters. The same color code was applied to match an author to his/her fictional creation.) First, what this diagram shows is a continuum of diminishing intensity of God-hatred from left to center: from rage, to hatred, to anger, to resentment. And, as we can see, as the intensity of hatred for the “real” God diminishes, it enters a phase where it can coexist with the diminished hatred for a God…

Overnight Sensation ‘The Rich Men North of Richmond’ isn’t Just a Window into a Forgotten America — It’s an Invitation into a Worldview

By Bradley Onishi

…in order to destroy American life as we know it. And, lo and behold, journalists and Internet sleuths discovered that one of Anthony’s public playlists contains a number of videos propagating 9/11 trutherism, antisemitic tropes, and Q-adjacent conspiracies, as Ernie Piper at the Daily Dot observes: One of the singer’s public playlists on his YouTube channel, “videos to make your noggin get bigger,” contains several videos that promote 9/11 truther…

…e Church of Body Modification has run into trouble with her school’s dress code. The 14-year-old is looking at a ten day suspension if she returns to school wearing her prohibited nose ring. In Roswell, New Mexico, a group of students have been suspended for giving their teachers boxes of doughnuts with religious messages attached to them. Romania has decided not to tax its witches and fortunetellers. One reason being that the witches and fortunet…

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

By Mary E. Hunt

…reply to my later email, I was directed to three local parishes in my zip code to find out about attending their listening sessions. A priest from one of the three I contacted replied courteously but had to report that the parish has nothing in place yet. He assured me that they would do whatever the diocese instructed. A recent survey by America magazine staff confirmed my suspicions that the process is off to a rocky start: “Of the 196 churches…

Why White Women Are Leading Defenders of Kavanaugh

By Sikivu Hutchinson

…ral character. Even respectable white women like Ford must comply with the code of silence protecting toxic masculinity. The demonization of Ford by the right is yet another indication of how low the GOP faithful are willing to go to gut human and civil rights. As ReproAction Network has noted, Kavanaugh’s repugnant record on women’s rights puts him in lockstep with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. His well-documented, insidious appellate co…

Blasphemy and Betrayal: The Murder of Salman Taseer

By Anna Bigelow

…usands rallied at the slain leader’s funeral. Perhaps most poignant, journalist Ahmed Rashid, who attended the funeral, reported that the family had trouble finding a cleric to officiate, ultimately resorting to a maulvi (religious scholar) employed by the political party to which Taseer belonged. The debate over whether Taseer was a blasphemer or a martyred hero may break down along party lines, but it also taps into the deep, historical ambivale…

Christianity and Condoms

By John Blevins

…he rhetoric. This mutual support may make for a coherent ethical and moral code and it may help reinforce long-held norms of the way one should live one’s life. There is reason to wonder, however, if it might actually hurt the women and men of Kazangula. If “Abstinence” and “Condoms” are mutually exclusive while “Abstinence” and “Be faithful” present an interconnected coherent picture to which one should aspire, then “ABC” prevention messages may,…
