By Frederick Clarkson

…r in which he asked God to “Open our hearts to those most in need.” On his list was “The unborn child in the womb.” Three days later, Roman Catholic Cardinal Tim Dolan opened the Republican convention with a prayer in which he highlighted “the innocent life of the baby in the womb.” Speakers throughout the convention linked their antiabortion views with their vision of God and country.

By Elizabeth Drescher

…would continue to put at the top of their pastoral and political priority list issues like marriage equality, “religious freedom,” and abortion that have nothing to do with the core of teachings of Jesus about feeding the poor, tending the sick, and like that. Indeed, in their 2014 advocacy priorities, even education is not primarily about improving access to learning for children, but rather focuses on shifting limited public funding to private…

What’s Behind Trump’s “Impossibly Stupid” Roll Back of Contraception Mandate

By Daniel Schultz

…and the Supreme Court added “closely-held, for profit corporations” to the list. So even the most benign explanation is that Trump is playing to his base’s fears of cultural displacement, including the displacement of losing the ability to police women’s sexuality, without really doing much of anything. What seems more likely (not taking the White House at its word) is that this is another in a long series of efforts by the president to undermine…

Why Does Abortion Have to Be a Personal Question for Men?

By Sarah Posner

…ic voters don’t really rate abortion and contraception at the top of their list of concerns. As the other Sarah discussed earlier today, Catholic doctrine has a lot to say about issues unrelated to reproductive matters. Biden took a probably little noticed dig at Ryan when he pointed out that the Republican’s economic policy proposals are at odds with Catholic social justice teaching. Raddatz could have asked about how quite a number of Catholic t…

Can Democrats Question Amy Coney Barrett’s Faith? Yes! Should They? Well…

By Daniel Schultz

…faith and law espoused at Blackstone, and ADF’s affiliation with a laundry list of extreme right-wing Christians, there are a lot of worthwhile questions to be asked about how Blackstone and ADF may or may not reflect Barrett’s jurisprudence. The right’s response to these issues has been rather predictably to accuse anyone and everyone with any concerns about Barrett of “anti-Catholic bigotry,” in the words of Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse. There’s no r…

Popesplaining: Women Remain “Strawberries” in Francis’s Book on Happiness

By Kaya Oakes

…onference on Catholic writing at the University of Notre Dame. The speaker list was full of women and the panels were full of women, many of them remarkably gifted writers with armloads of literary prizes. At the opening Mass for the conference, a visiting male bishop led the service, assisted by four male Holy Cross priests, two male altar servers, a male cantor and several male lectors. The optics, as we like to say, were not great. But that is…

…indeed apply to yoga. 8. Yogaphobia Fear of Yoga continued to flourish. To list just a few 2014 incidents: Albert Mohler cited Indiana University religious studies scholar Candy Gunther Brown’s expertise—in 2013, Brown testified in a high-profile court case against allowing yoga in Encinitas, California public schools since it, according to Brown, promotes Hinduism—in support of his own argument that yoga is dangerous for Christians.

Mitt, the Marriotts, and Porn

By Joanna Brooks

…f internet technological and capacity innovation before the advent of the smart phone. And if we want to start a serious conversation about where presidential candidates get their money and how ethical that money is, let’s do it. I have a laundry list of labor, environmental, feminist, and human rights issues with multinational corporations I’d love to start working through. But don’t give me a thin, opportunistic connect-the-Mormon-dots story a…

Prophecy and Prosperity are Keys to Republican Christian Nationalism According to New Poll

By Daniel Schultz

…coalition, this is hardly a satisfactory answer. Are the Christian nationalists fundamentalists? Catholics? Protestants? If so, what kind of Protestant? To get a more specific answer, PRRI examines two sets of factors. The first set concerns “Charismatic elements in churches.” When most people think of Charismatic practices, they might envision divine healing or people speaking in tongues. But PRRI includes such features as receiving an answer to…

…esus-as-Messiah—even more curious as to how that question made it onto the list. (And yes, we’re working on that story as we speak.) But in the end, we decided to go above our own heads and ask an eminent group of writers, scholars and activists to respond to the brief prompt: “So what?” Their answers, linked below, tease unexpected meaning from Pew’s results. ________________________ Good News For Bad News Addicts J.J.
