Democratic Hopeful Pete Buttigieg Makes Faith 101 Misstep

By Daniel Schultz

…t Buttigieg (and all the other candidates) to read Niebuhr’s Moral Man and Immoral Society, and internalize its lessons. Social leaders who want to effect meaningful change are condemned to represent the interests of their group, even though doing so might contradict their personal moral code. The short version of Niebuhr is that you can lead or you can have clean hands, not both. In 2019 America, that means you can embrace the people who are actu…

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

…c. How is this work being financed, especially in poor countries? One diocesan media person told me that there was no budget for this project as there are no new costs involved. I can believe it; a sign of how insignificant it is, or how many people are rattling around chanceries waiting 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…

By Frederick Clarkson

…ience, Equality.” Turning Point’s video suggests that the church’s program promotes “disunity” and “segregation.” But here too, there’s no evidence to support the claim, and plenty that refutes it. As Edgerton told the Chicago Sun Times, “You don’t fast from things that are despicable. … You don’t fast from things that are ugly,” he said. “You fast from those things that do tug at your heart.” Edgerton told the paper that although they’re celebrat…

By Frederick Clarkson and André Gagné

…at Robertson, Robin Bullock, Hank Kunneman, Jeremiah Johnson, and R. Loren Sandford. After the election, some repented and admitted they were wrong while others claimed that they had it right all along. Some tried to explain what happened. Craig Keener, a professor of biblical studies at Asbury Theological Seminary, defended the idea that the Bible contains stories of false and true prophets, and that even true prophets sometimes deliver prophetic…

By Katherine Kelaidis

…of EuroPride in Belgrade. Then on Sunday he led a prayer service for the “sanctity of marriage and family” while thousands of Serbs, in no small part inspired by the Patriarch, took to the streets to protest the planned EuroPride events. These events and the feteing of Orbán are not unrelated. Notable throughout the week, the Patriarch routinely emphasized the idea that it was outsiders coming to change Serbia’s values who were the threat. This w…

The Quiet Part is Very Much Out Loud: Conservative Publication Calls For Embrace of Totalitarianism

…ing for Davidson to claim that “marriage as it has been understood for thousands of years” no longer exists or that he remembers fondly “the medieval European traditions of arranged marriage.” If any doubt remains as to what Davidson and his friends have in store, he spells it out bluntly: those who don’t fit into his worldview will be jailed. “In other contexts, wielding government power will mean a dramatic expansion of the criminal code. It wil…

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…
