Gorsuch Confirmed… But Don’t Get Too Bent Out of Shape

…ted on the Supreme Court. That’s shameful, and belongs near the top of the list of dangerous, un-American shenanigans the GOP has subjected the American people to over the past decade. But let’s not kid ourselves. A Supreme Court with Justice Gorsuch seated is no more deeply conservative than it was with Justice Scalia on the bench. Despite the apparent similarities between Gorsuch and Scalia, I actually believe Justice Gorsuch’s legacy will more…

Everything Was Better When We Had God In Our Schools

…whether God has been “allowed in our schools” or not. In fact, below is a list of school shootings from K12 Academics, all of which took place prior to “the removal of God” from our schools: 1700s  • The earliest known United States shooting to happen on school property was the Pontiac’s Rebellion school massacre on July 26, 1764, where four Lenape American Indians entered the schoolhouse near present-day Greencastle, Pennsylvania, shot and kille…

Jim Wallis’ Egregious “Memo to Nation’s Leaders” on Stupak

…get things done.” And another: “I have fought against religious fundamentalists most of my life, but it’s quite sad to see this new assault of secular fundamentalism against religion of all kinds—even against progressive religion.” Does Wallis believe he’s the only principled participant in this debate? Claims to Represent the Religious Left: It’s true that Wallis states, “The religious community has different views on abortion.” But then he goes…

Progressive & Religious

…ices will contribute to a healthier public square and a more vibrant, pluralistic democracy in America. Are you hoping to just inform readers? Give them pleasure? Piss them off?     If there are two groups I’m taking aim at, it’s the Christian Right that has distorted religion into a partisan agenda on the one hand and the raft of neo-atheist authors that are asserting—largely in (over)reaction to this first group—that “religion poisons everything…

Is the Prochoice Religious Community a Sleeping Giant?

…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. While the GOP has sought to rally its base, and the Democrats…

Why Zubik is Especially Important for Women of Color

…ealth and Human Services asked The Institute of Medicine to come up with a list of women’s health services that should qualify as preventive care and require no co-pay under the Affordable Care Act, the Institute included contraceptive care and counseling in their recommendations, two services that can help right some of the wrongs done to women of color in the area of reproductive justice and liberty. It would be a grave injustice for the Supreme…

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

…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…

Pew and the Jews: “So What?”

…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.

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

…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

…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…
