As Catholic Bishops Punish Dissent, Rosemary Radford Ruether’s Life and Legacy Show the Way Forward

By Lauren Barbato

…abortion into law, in the event that Roe falls, warranted this imposition. Denying a person communion—a sacrament that Catholics believe is both representational and the literal body and blood of Jesus Christ—is a form of censure in the Catholic Church. Bishops usually cite Canon 915, a provision of the church’s Code of Canon Law that stipulates that any Catholic the hierarchy formally declares excommunicated or “manifesting” grave sin may not rec…

Don’t Buy Alito’s Assurances: Here’s What Happens Next After Roe Falls

By Brynn Tannehill

…d Loving (interracial marriage) and states that Dobbs v. Jackson “does not undermine them in any way.” But anyone who reads the totality of the decision understands Alito’s writing here to be highly disingenuous for many reasons. First, Alito, Barrett, Thomas, and Kavanaugh have all been highly critical of Obergefell in the past, for the very same reasons they’re overturning Roe: namely that a right to same-sex marriage fails the “Glucksberg Test”…

If Kirill’s Bizarre Sermon Blaming War on Pride Parades Comes as a Surprise, it’s Time to Learn the History

By Katherine Kelaidis

…e familiar with the Russian Orthodox Church. This sermon is the natural outcome of rhetoric coming out of the Patriarchate of Moscow, not only over the past decade, but over the past five centuries as well. In recent times, Patriarch Kirill and Vladimir Putin have worked diligently to position the Russian Orthodox Church, and by extension Russia, as leader of the Global Christian Right. And thanks largely to American evangelicals, anti-LGBTQ rheto…

Is This Finally the Reckoning for the Catholic Church on Sexual Abuse?

By Patricia Miller

…racy charges against members of the Catholic hierarchy would be a stunning denouement for men who, until recently, regularly met with U.S. presidents and influenced public policy on everything from women’s access to contraception to the simmering argument about transgender identity. It would signal that after a century of acquiescence to the hierarchy of the Catholic Church as a separate political structure operating with impunity outside of the U…

Sacrificing Children on the Altar of Religious Freedom: A Flood of Mask and Vaccine Lawsuits are Warping ‘Religious Freedom’

By Andrew L. Seidel

…te to the 1970s. In 1972, the Supreme Court decided a case about children being raised in the Amish community. Did those children have to go to school until they were 18, as the law required, or could their parents stop their education early? The court, looking through rose-colored glasses at the sect, saw “rural” communities that are “aloof from the world” and devoted to “a life in harmony with nature and the soil” and romanticized an “Amish soci…

No God but Country: The Religion of John McCain Has Something Important to Tell Us

By Kathryn Lofton

…Robertson Republican who will lose to Al Gore.” This Reagan Republican has come around on Pat Robertson politics, volunteering to sacrifice once again for his country a piece of himself. At the “Civil Forum on the Presidency” moderated by Rick Warren at Saddleback Church this past August, and on countless other occasions during the campaign, McCain has canonized one anecdote to answer every question about God, every question about faith, every inq…

The Apocalypse Is Upon Us, Ted Cruz Endorsement Edition

By Sarah Posner

…spread power outages are expected. The governor of Maryland has warned residents to have enough supplies for a week. Meanwhile, in a galaxy not very far away, the infighting in the Republican presidential primary continues to lay bare divides in the religious right. With Sarah Palin’s endorsement of Donald Trump, he and Ted Cruz are battling over who has garnered the most love from Christian conservatives, including charismatics and Pentecostals l…

Birthday Blog

By Amina Wadud

…d also know I would gladly take any little symbol of love. For all the profundity, I have come to see that it is the thought that counts. If I am overlooked altogether, I do feel slighted. I thought about not writing a blog at all. Then, I thought about sharing one wisdom for each year, but I was pretty sure I would never find 58. As you can see, both are extreme: one too little, as in not at all; and one too much, as in 58. In the Qur’an we are e…

What Penis Theft Tells Us About Belief, Culture, and Our Brains

By Vlad Chituc

…biology? Do you think there are any mental illnesses that aren’t culture bound? There’s no biological test for any mental illness that we know of or that I can think of. To say that any mental illness is purely biological seems premature at best, because we don’t know the physiology of these things. There’s none that I can think of that wouldn’t have a cultural element to it, or an element of belief or narrative. How much, I don’t know. It’s a tou…

Wheaton and the “Same God” Controversy: A Theological Opportunity Squandered?

By Benjamin Dueholm

…aid leave almost immediately, citing “questions” of an unspecified nature, coming from unidentified quarters, that the “same God” formula may conflict with Wheaton’s Protestant evangelical Statement of Faith. It’s been argued, including in these pages, that the hijab and not the “same God” statement is the true cause of the disciplinary measure. But taking Wheaton’s administration at its rather parsimoniously-distributed word, is it in fact so des…
