Romney not Precisely Familiar with Questioning Obama’s Faith, but Stands By It

By Sarah Posner

…Judeo-Christian values and teachings, Biblical teachings, and for the president not to understand that a wide array of religions and a conviction that Judeo-Christian philosophy is an integral part of our foundation is really an extraordinary thing. I think again that the president takes his philosophical leanings in this regard, not from those who are ardent believers in various faiths but instead from those who would like to see America (more se…

Touched by a Michael Landon: America’s Jewish Angel

By Peter Manseau

…an evangelical publishing house. Although Christian themes in his work are undeniable, beneath Landon’s Jesus-y vibe there is a surprisingly Jewish sensibility awaiting recognition. This claim goes deeper than either his ethnic background or his famously biblical mane. Landon, born Eugene Maurice Orowitz, was the son of a Catholic mother and a Jewish father; but this isn’t a matter of whether or not he was really Jewish. Rather, a close look at so…

What NOT to Expect from the Pope’s US Visit

By Anthea Butler

…en of Catholic News Service reported that, in response to questions about being a communist and Newsweek‘s “Is the Pope Catholic?” headline, he responded: “I am certain I have never said anything more than what is in the social doctrine of the church. I follow the church and in this, I do not think I am wrong.” That is key to understanding Pope Francis’s visit. For all of the talk about climate change, social good, or poverty, all of his statement…

Can Religion Professors Save the Planet?

By Ivan Strenski

…Africa. Real heroes. But, where are the great figures who can articulate a compelling vision around, say, climate change? Al Gore tried, but then disappeared, deciding to get rich as a media wheeler-dealer. Have other social activist leaders lost their focus too? I worry about this because of the ease today of blurring the distinction between social activism and other occupations—in this case, the university. As long as one feels one can do social…

On Guns and Religious Liberty, Ben Carson “Not an Authentic Adventist”

By Sarah Posner

…States, and 18 million worldwide. Observing the Sabbath on Saturday, not Sunday, and a commitment to health and wellness, including vegetarianism, are prominent features that distinguish Adventism from other Christian denominations. Protecting the Saturday Sabbath observance has driven Adventist involvement in legal challenges under the Free Exercise Clause, such as the one that led to the landmark 1963 Supreme Court decision in Sherbert v. Verne…

How Far Will White Christians Go to Maintain Power? An Interview with Robert Jones

By Peter Laarman

…e of Discovery was issued in 1493, and it’s no coincidence that the year sounds a bit familiar, coming right about the time that Columbus sailed the ocean blue. The Doctrine was set up to justify Spain’s claim to the Americas, and it explicitly states that European Christians have the right to dominate and subdue any non-Christian and non-white peoples they “encounter.” It declares that they are free to conquer by any means necessary and with the…

The Bishops Did Send a Message with Their Vote on Biden and Communion; Are We Sure It Was The One They Intended?

By Daniel Schultz

…ntrary to the New York Times, I never thought this was an effort to deny Biden communion itself. As the Times and any other intelligent observer knows, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops can’t set policy for the reception of sacraments. That’s done by the bishops in their respective dioceses, and carried out (sometimes not) by individual priests presiding in worship. Certainly no one understands better than the members of USCCB the limits on…

Bishops’ Attempt to Deny Communion to Biden Will Backfire Even More Spectacularly Than Opposition to Same-Sex Marriage

By Mary E. Hunt

…r to the Vatican will provide another clue about his Catholicism. But President Biden certainly looks and sounds like one of the many ways Catholics look and sound, confounding some journalists and conservative bishops who fail to realize how varied we are. What’s left out of the public conjecturing about all of this is that today’s Roman Catholic Church isn’t John F. Kennedy’s Irish Catholicism of sixty years ago. It’s the far more variegated, di…

Alabama Yoga Debate Focusing on the Wrong Question

By Candy Gunther Brown

Alabama’s latest round debating yoga should come as no surprise. Earlier this week, the state’s Senate Judiciary Committee vote on whether to overturn a ban on yoga in public schools ended in a tie. For now, Alabama schools cannot legally teach yoga as part of the public-school curriculum. Other states, such as California, do allow yoga, despite parents raising similar concerns about yoga’s ties to religion. The central issue at stake is whether…
