By Daniel Ramirez

…iving tyrant in the capital city. Some morally complex characters do add a welcome nuance to the otherwise Manichaean saga, including U.S. Ambassador Dwight Morrow and high-ranking prelates who, in the end, broker a modus vivendi accord between Calles, his successor, and Rome. In an interview with the National Catholic Register, Glory’s producer Pablo Jose Barroso ascribed the timing of the ﬁlm’s release in both countries to a higher agency. In Me…

O(Pinn)ion: Reevaluating a Faith-Based Nation

By Anthony B. Pinn

…ophy of life often viewed with suspicion. On the surface, his remark was a welcome counter to popular imagination and a long overdue effort to remap the religious landscape of the United States. However well-intended the inclusion, of course, it succeeded in raising more questions than it answered: What is the real look of this inclusion? What are substantive signs of it?

Reactionary White Buddhists Have Joined The Fight Against Critical Race Theory

By Ann Gleig

…it’s not politics per se but rather a certain type of politics that aren’t welcome. To give a hint: as the author explains, “‘diversity’, like social justice, is one of those words that sounds innocent and good, but is informed by a political ideology that is not so innocent and good.” One wonders why the author sees the call for racial justice in his community as “ideological” rather than as reflecting the lived experiences of his PoC sangha memb…

The Role of American Religious Activists in Uganda Anti-Gay Violence

By Sarah Posner

…Uganda” over the bill, I asked him how the U.N. and other “lobbyists” were promoting homosexuality in Uganda; not surprisingly, he didn’t have an answer. He claimed that the pastors there told him “a story about how it swept into — the agenda promotion, of the agenda, and now the actual proliferation of the homosexual activity sweeping into the boarding schools of that nation. I don’t know much of the details so I can’t take responsibility for wha…

Turn On The News: This Isn’t a Split, It’s a Tiny Sliver of Conservatives Walking Out the Door — Introducing A New Media Criticism Column

By Daniel Schultz

…say so in print. (If you don’t, I may note that as well.) Readers are also welcome to send perspectives, tips, or suggestions. It’ll be like Rod Dreher’s mailbox—except not made up. Meeting the critical moment requires answering basic questions: Is a particular story accurate? Is it complete?

I’m Not Here to Fix Evangelicals, But to Show Them Who They Are: An Interview With the Author of ‘White Evangelical Racism’

By Chrissy Stroop

…Race Theory, is a sham. It’s about protecting white patriarchy. I for one welcome all the books that are correctives to the social, religious and political history of evangelicalism that are coming out right now. We are the new generation of academics who are redefining evangelicalism. I think my message in this book is clear. I’m not here to fix evangelicals. That’s the job of those who still find value in it. My purpose in writing was to hold u…

White Protestants in Decline

By Peter Laarman

…ia their nefarious new “religious freedom” axis), the more interesting and welcome news relates to what is happening among the 18-29 year-old set: the millennials. Here, white evangelicals make up only 13% of the total cohort, compared to 32% who are now religiously unaffiliated. Of these younger “nones,” 42% say they are atheist or agnostic. The others obviously aren’t all that keen on organized religion, or else they would affiliate. Does this m…

Will Sisters Save the Catholic Church?

By Mary E. Hunt

…holic Church, without a Pope or anyone else on top, a Church where all are welcome and involved. This creeping clericalism was operative in the analysis of the sisters’ letter in support of the health care bill. Some commentators tried to equate the sisters and the bishops as if there were really two sides within the Catholic hierarchy and now the other side had spoken. With all due respect to the nuns, this is simply not true. As the health care…
