Is The Episcopal Church Driving Drunk?

By J. Terry Todd

…treamline the Church’s considerable bureaucracy, eliminating most standing committees and commissions, lowering the goal for diocesan assessments to more realistic levels for the support of the national church, and vesting more power in the office of the Presiding Bishop, who will take on more of a CEO role. Will TREC, whose sacred slogan is, “Follow Jesus into the neighborhood; travel lightly,” fix what’s wrong with the Episcopal Church? Only tim…

The End of the Catholic Church’s Pelvic Zone Orthodoxy

By Daniel C. Maguire

…hierarchical edicts. No pope ever insisted he is not a “right winger.” Suddenly a pope appears who knows that, search the Bible from top to bottom and you will never hear Jesus say: “By this shall people know you are my disciples, that you do not contracept!” Jesus never said it and this pope knows it. Nowhere in the Bible is abortion condemned. And never before did a pope abandon the errors of the Bible by rejecting its condemnation of those who…

The Pastoral is the Political: Let’s Stop Hyde-ing

By Harry F. Knox

…withhold medical care just become someone is poor. Decisions about how and under what circumstances to become a parent are sacred and personal. Women have abortions for many reasons. We have no way of fully understanding another’s decision because we do not stand in their shoes. These decisions are best made by a woman in consultation with her family and faith. Rather than shame and judgment, we should make sure that everyone has a safe and compas…

Missing the Extra Point: The Real Cause of Tebow Fever

By Carter Turner

…The theological question is the elephant in the living room. TV and radio commentators can’t ask their viewers and listeners if they think God is helping Tebow. Instead they ask tangential questions about whether his displays of faith are appropriate, or whether he’s being discriminated against because of his faith, or if he would be treated differently if he was a Muslim. But these questions are not driving the attention. What’s driving it is a…

Trayvon Martin and American Exceptionalism

By Anthea Butler

…e time the question irked me, and I felt that the person who asked me was being insensitive. I realize now why he will never understand my acerbic tone. When you teach the history of African Americans, it is hard to find beauty in so much painful history. I don’t know where there is beauty in rapes, killings, maimings, poverty, and the specter of violence that haunts our communities, self-inflicted or otherwise. For every good story history, there…

Santorum and the New Catholic-Evangelical Alliance

By Sarah Posner

…or a “Catholic tea party.“) Today, the evangelical-Catholic alliance is hardening around the “religious freedom” issue, and in particular opposition to gay marriage and, most recently, the contraception benefit requirement. Santorum is almost like an accidental beneficiary of this; the GOP base, lacking an evangelical candidate left standing, and dissatisfied with Mitt Romney, has turned to his fidelity to ultra-conservative Catholicism as evidenc…

All the Candidates’ Religion Problems

By Sarah Posner

…that’s the way things should rationally be in a democracy, but who doesn’t understand either the political strategy of the religious right (to “raise up” committed Christians to run for office, while shaping their “Christian worldview” from a very young age) or what compels its relentlessness (a belief they are evangelizing a sinful nation to repent—or else). Santorum may be a flawed, embarrassing representative, with his inability to think of a m…

Cues for Throwing Up

…st University. There, Chaput accused Kennedy of giving a speech that “profoundly undermined the place not just of Catholics, but of all religious believers, in America’s public life and political conversation. Today, half a century later, we’re paying for the damage.” Today, Santorum’s (and Chaput’s) reactions to their fellow Catholic’s view reflect a fundamental(ist) shift: evangelical activists do not want to hear that the White House will be fr…

VA Sen Proposes Rectal Exams for Men Seeking Viagra

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…y – and stinging humor – has emboldened opponents of Virginia’s new ultrasound law, thanks to State Sen. Janet Howell (D-Fairfax)’s proposed amendment requiring men to have a rectal exam and a cardiac stress test in order to get a prescription for erectile dysfunction medication. She explained her probing, trenchant reasoning to the HuffPo: We need some gender equity here… The Virginia senate is about to pass a bill that will require a woman to ha…
