By Katherine Kelaidis

…octrine of the Immaculate Conception, which holds that the Virgin Mary was free from Original Sin, is not a doctrine shared between the Catholic and Orthodox churches. In fact, it’s only been an official part of Catholic teaching since 1854. While the Eastern churches agree with Catholics that Mary was free from personal sin, the fact that the Eastern church has never accepted Augustine’s teaching on Original Sin means that the doctrine is superfl…

By Diane Winston

…God’s plan for the country. Like their contemporaries, they, too, sought a better world but theirs—infused with rightwing religion—looked very different from the romantic utopianism of the pot smokers, the Marxist visions of the Weathermen or even the moderate Clintonism of those who worked within the system.

Does God Hate Health Care? How About Public Schools? Or Bridges?

By Joanna Brooks

…wrong for people who share the same borders to pool their resources to blunt the human costs of structural economic adjustments. Where is this taught?

By Edward J. Blum

…orld transformation seem equally troubling. Perhaps these days we would be better off considering the “solemnity of this day.” One hundred years ago, another African American graduate of Harvard and Senate-candidate W. E. B. Du Bois prayed with his students at Atlanta University: “Give us this night, O God, Peace in our land and the long silence that comes after strain and upheaval. Let us sense the solemnity of this day – its mighty meaning, its…

By Hussein Rashid

…overage on NY1. They got Adhami saying that he thought homosexuality was caused by emotional and/or physical abuse. They got a gay rights activist talking about the outrageousness of such a statement, and then a statement from another activist that pointed out that this is not a new canard.

RDPulpit: Obama Missed the Hope in State of the Union Address

By Daniel Schultz

…on faith have been desperate to suppress this insight for decades. God is free, and in that freedom, for the poor. That there is the possibility of change, that the bubble has burst and the financial certainties are on the brink of collapse, that the numbness and despair have been pierced—all of this should be evidence for the faithful that God is “operating under a new plan.” This is not the hope Joe Hill famously derided as “pie in the sky, by…
