By Kathleen Holscher

…x Falls, which together extend their ecclesial jurisdiction over 6 federal Indian reservations in South Dakota. By 2010, more than 65 Catholic priests and religious formerly employed at Indian boarding schools within those dioceses had been named in lawsuits targeting sexual abuse—a number that suggests a far higher per-capita rate of offending clergy than even in New Mexico. In New Mexico, the victims of abuse were mainly Nuevomexicano and Indige…

‘My Name is Legion’: Sources and Forces of White Supremacy in the U.S.

By R. Drew Smith

…as paved the way for much harder forms of race ontologies within the slave South during the 19th century. With abolitionism gaining momentum in the early 1800s, the slavocracy—with southern clergy in the forefront—responded with a variety of defenses of slavery. One of the more prevalent defenses was to argue, in characteristically Calvinistic terms, that social station is predetermined by God. According to 19th century pro-slavery advocates of th…

By Frederick Clarkson

…th, Texas-based Kelly claims the global movement, especially in the global South “is “growing at a very, very strong rate… in spite of all the accusations regarding the NAR and so forth.” He also claims that a major source of American apostolic church growth comes from Latin American migrants—many of whom are Pentecostal. He argues that their strongest national coalitions are in countries where there is “persecution against the church.” Interestin…

How 95% of Jewish Israelis Support a ‘Plausible’ Genocide

By Zachary Foster

…ake “all measures in its power” to prevent acts of genocide. They accepted South Africa’s claim that, at first glance, although not a final verdict, Israel’s words and actions appear genocidal. Jewish Israelis, however, see things differently: 95% of Jewish Israelis believed the Israeli military had used either the “appropriate” amount of force or “too little” force in Gaza, according to a mid-January 2024 poll. That’s 95% support for a plausible…

Does Donald Trump Have a Catholic Problem?

By Patricia Miller

…nite State, the Republican primary calendar moves southward to states like South Carolina, where Trump is polling well. But Trump’s momentum and the structure of the GOP primary calendar could be hiding a potential weakness for Trump that may hurt him both in an extended primary fight and in the general election: Catholic voters. Right now Trump is doing well among less affluent and less educated white voters in the South, Appalachia (West Virgini…

American Sin: Why Pope Francis’ Mercy is Not Our Mercy

By Kaya Oakes

…rch from which Francis’ ideas about mercy evolved. Argentina may be one of South America’s more politically progressive countries, but it remains an overwhelmingly Catholic country with a dominant Spanish influence. With a dizzying number of languages, economic classes, ethnicities and cultures represented in American Catholic churches, American Catholics resist singularity. And it follows that they are going to be inconsistent in how they define…

Larycia Hawkins’ Actual Violation of Wheaton’s Statement of Faith Hints at the School’s True Intentions

By John Gleim

…hteousness. This passage from Wheaton’s creed is packed with buzzwords and coded language borrowed from the lexicon of evolution-denying young earth creationism. Among many evangelicals, to say that God “directly created Adam and Eve” is actually a coded denial that human beings were produced through evolutionary processes—even if these were guided by God’s providence, as in the Christian concept of intelligent design. At the same time, to insist…

By Sarah Eltantawi

…. – Anyone with family who grew up in the 1930s – 1980s in the Arab world, South Asia including Afghanistan, Indonesia, West Africa, and other parts of the Muslim majority world, or anyone who knows the social history of those places during those times, understands that the headscarf was rare, while personal piety was strong if not stronger during this time period (according again to ethnographic research, biographies, etc.) These societies were m…

Ten Religion Stories That Went (Mostly) Missing in 2015

By Peter Laarman

…ds of everyday shootings in places like the west side of Baltimore and the south side of Chicago? 6. Toilets. “You can’t go in there!” riles up the righteous in Houston. But, on the other hand, hundreds of congregations are doing small group study on what “trans” means, and many of the faithful merely shrug at the idea of queer Scoutmasters, for God’s sake. Sexual difference seems to be much less frightening to ever larger swathes of American reli…

Embattled Professor Took a Stand for “Human Solidarity,” Versus Entrenched Evangelical Fear

By Ivy George

…clay, descendants of the same cradle of humankind–a cave in Sterkfontein, South Africa that I had the privilege to descend into to plumb the depths of our common humanity in 2014. But perhaps such a call from the gospel was too daunting for the custodians of religious, racial and political purity at Wheaton College. The easy bedding of white American evangelicals with the U.S. state would make it difficult for them to see Hawkins—the college’s fi…
