By Karen E. Park

…just died. Grunewald’s Christ could certainly be called disgusting, as the patients in the monastery hospital for whom the painting was commissioned surely were (a hospital which specialized in The Plague and skin diseases). Its attention to the “disgusting” aspects of Jesus’ death may have served a psychological and theological purpose, sending a vivid message that disgust at human decay, disease, and death had been transformed by the Incarnation…

The Muslim Ban May Be Unconstitutional, But It’s Not Un-American

By Willie Dwayne Francois

…responsibility, the world waits to see if the America written about on the parchment is possible in public. I borrow the challenge of Martin Luther King, Jr., “All we say to America is, ‘Be true to what you said on paper.’” It is our sacred assignment, freedom-loving people of conscience and faith, to redeem the nation from the wages of its sins.

Secede, For The Kingdom of Bernie Has Come Near

By Daniel Schultz

…ndamentalists or Pentecostals—the kinds of Christians who preferred not to participate in politics at all—does point to what might actually happen. Sanders has brought in many first-time voters, and many of his supporters like to say that given a choice between America’s Problem Child and Hillary Clinton, they’d rather stay home.

Yesterday the Arizona Senate passed SB 1062, a bill that would, if it became law, enshrine the ability of business owners to refuse service to customers based on their sexual orientation. The bill’s sponsors, as I wrote a few weeks ago, fear that the “religious freedom” of business owners is threatened by LGBT people asking them to bake a cake or snap some photographs. Here’s E.J. Montini, a columnist with the Arizona Republic, who says that “ext…

…Benedict XVI’s trip to the cristero stronghold of Guanajuato state, and a papal ﬂyover (in the presidential helicopter) around the Cristo Rey monument near León. (Mexicans go to the polls on July 1.) The U.S. also stands in need of the ﬁlm’s message right now, according to Barroso: “The movie is about conscience. No one ever wins when religion is oppressed.
