Is Cardinal Dolan’s Pro-Life Piece More Evidence of Pro-Catholic Bias from RNS Publisher?

By Evan Derkacz

If you did, I hope you didn’t place any big bets on it. “Staffers tell me that [Tom] Gallagher’s behavior was part of a pattern, with Gallagher repeatedly attempting to influence the site’s coverage of Catholicism,” wrote Sar…

By Lauri Lebo

I last wrote about the End of the World in July, so I thought it was time for an update. Apparently, it’s still scheduled for May 21. Actually, May 21 isn’t technically the end of the world. Rather, it’s the Day of Rapture, when the righteous are magically taken up to heaven.

Nathaniel Frank describes his unsuccessful efforts to get World Vision to explain how its renewed commitment to “Biblical marriage” can be seen as anything other than…

Obama’s Divisive Choice of Rick Warren

By Michelle Goldberg

On the left, reaction to the news that Rick Warren would be giving the invocation at Barack Obama’s inauguration was swift and furious. The president of The Human Rights Campaign, the country’s largest gay and lesbian human rights organization, published an open letter to the president-elect, which began, “Let me get right to the point. Your invitation to Reverend Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at your inauguration is a genuine blow to LGB…

The recent leak of Russell Moore’s private letter detailing racism and abuse of power at the highest levels of the convention put a sensational exclamation point on the trend. For the nation’s lar…
