A Queer New Year

By Peter Montgomery

…efforts by proving that children raised by intact mom-and-dad families do better than kids raised by two loving moms or dads. It won’t matter that the study didn’t do that. Blamers Also a safe bet: natural disasters like Hurricane-Superstorm Sandy will continue to be chalked up to God’s anger at the advance of gay rights. So will tragedies like the mass murder of students and educators at Sandy Hook elementary school. But those blamers will sound…

Pope Francis Has Painted Himself into a Corner on Women Deacons

By Mary E. Hunt

…that he felt like a goalie fielding questions from all sides, it is a good bet that he had indeed seen the questions in advance. In fact, the latter part of the conversation was based on written materials, adding evidence that he had indeed probably thought about all of his responses. It remains to be seen if and when the commission will be set up, who will be on it, and when it will deliver some response. Francis has been to enough meetings to kn…

Dems Need More Faith, Episode LXXI: The Beer Caucus Proposal

By Daniel Schultz

…k City, and Berkeley, and LA, and all those other safe blue enclaves. I’ll bet you could find a liberal campaigner talking to people about their faith in one of those areas. I’ll bet you could find a bunch. Then too, the Dems-Should-Talk-More-About-Faith narrative generally means Candidates Should Talk More About Faith, ignoring the average party members. It’s to the author’s credit that she cites Pew statistics about just how many Democrats are r…

By Robert Repino

…in the states that are the most likely to criminalize the practice? Don’t bet on it. And certainly don’t bet on the bishops threatening to withhold communion from a politician over it. No follow-up questions, please A third trend: as many of the examples above show, anti-abortion “centrists” are a little too coy about what they’re willing to accept in order to maintain the criminalization of abortion. This is especially important to me because th…

Can Expelled Teach Us a Thing or Two?

By Arri Eisen

…Improving educator training so they can do this effectively? Absolutely. I bet more Americans would be attracted to, appreciate and consider careers in science (the number is decreasing annually).

The battle rhetoric w…

Conservative Judge Suing ‘Daily Beast’ for ‘QAnon-linked’ Headline Thought QAnon Pod Was ‘Aimed at Christian Audience’ — Spoiler: It Was

By Chrissy Stroop

…rse be taken with a grain of salt. That being said, I would absolutely not bet in Judge Patrick’s favor, knowing what we do about her fondness for conspiratorial and explicitly QAnon-linked “prophets” and the broader interplay between QAnon conspiracies and conservative Christian beliefs in American society. On the other hand, given the number of judges Donald Trump was able to appoint during his term as president, I wouldn’t bet the farm against…

By Eric Harrelson and Joseph P. Laycock

…n to bless the set, which seemed plagued by literal supernatural forces. A bonus featurette called Faith and Fear packaged with another Conjuring Universe film, The Nun, features Bryan D. Ouelette—an “autocephalous [i.e. self-appointed] eastern Orthodox/western Catholic bishop”—blessing the set of The Devil Made Me Do It before filming began in 2019.

How the Catholic Church Broke the Health Insurance it Advocated For

By Patricia Miller

…h care that humans with ovaries and vaginas use, were some kind of special bonus health care coverage that wasn’t included in “regular” insurance? The culprit might just be the Catholic Church. It was the Catholic Church after all that created the very first carve-out from health insurance when its own lobbyist crafted the Hyde Amendment that prevented Medicaid from paying for most abortions on the grounds that taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay for…
