Trump Order A ‘Death Sentence’ For Some LGBT Refugees? Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…re center-left economic policy that supports France’s robust social safety net — is pulling voters from left-wing constituencies to her side. Courting LGBT voters remains a high-wire act, because beneath Le Pen’s march to victory is a simmering internal battle that could build into a true revolt from within. If she does pull it off and win the presidency, Marine Le Pen would upend not just French politics, but potentially the politics of all of We…

Killing For Religion, Not God

By Haroon Moghul

…he prospect of watching one’s standard of living decline and social safety net fray, for the sake of visa-free travel conveniences and the privilege of more centralized banking. Don’t Trust Immigration (Islam), and Don’t Trust Marxism (Judaism) While in Bosnia, I was driven past Sarajevo’s historic National Library, which was deliberately torched during the 1990s war. Centuries of history were erased, part of a larger campaign to deny the historic…

Cues for Throwing Up

By Sarah Posner

…s about why the church’s support for immigration reform or a social safety net—issues it presses with far less vigor than issues relating to sex and sexuality—does nothing to move Republican opposition. Chaput criticized Kennedy for starting “the project of walling religion away from the process of governance in a new and aggressive way.” They are not separate, Chaput (and Santorum) insist. Christians have a duty to keep them intertwined, a duty t…

Klobuchar Feeds Trolls with Pro-Life Outreach

By Daniel Schultz

…I digress. I noted recently that catering to the pro-life vote would be a net loser for Democrats, which is true. But the math turns out to be even worse than before. The Hill, citing a Kaiser Family Foundation study, says that 84% of Democrats consider themselves pro-choice, and only 15% say they’re “pro-life.” If this study is correct and 20% of the pro-lifers would not vote for a pro-choice candidate, that sloughs off about 3% of the total vot…

McCarthy, Born Again and Retooled for Our Time

By Sarah Posner

…ripped from the headlines of the sensationalistic conservative site World Net Daily, but the setting was far more staid. The speaker, David Noebel, part of The King’s College Distinguished Visitors series, was introduced by outgoing King’s Provost and World magazine editor Marvin Olasky as “one of the long-lasting stalwarts of fighting for a lot of things we’re for here at King’s: religious, political, and economic liberty.” King’s, a Christian s…

RDBook: Huckabee ♥’s Nobody

By Kyle Mantyla

…mney’s entire campaign as a fraud perpetuated solely by the fact that his “net worth bought him instant status … [as] a serious contender.” While Huckabee nurtures a deep personal dislike of Romney, what he truly despises is everything Romney represents: the rich, East Coast, insider elites who dominate the Republican Party. Huckabee, the son of a fireman who struggled to make ends meet, effectively wages class warfare against the party insiders a…

Rumors of the Suicide of the Liberal Church Are Exaggerated: A Response to Chris Hedges

By Mark Hulsether

…ual number of people as they have attracted—and meanwhile there has been a net loss of wealthy donors and elite allies. One might expect Hedges to approach this as a trade-off. Indeed it is a sort of tradeoff for him—“a heads you win, tails we lose” variant between selling out and abandoning ship. It is unclear how invested Hedges is in the survival of liberal institutions—but either way, it’s hard to see how his intervention is constructive. He p…

Condoms and Common Sense

By Frances Kissling

…it as a real or moral solution, but, in this or that case, there can be nonetheless, in the intention of reducing the risk of infection, a first step in a movement toward a different way, a more human way, of living sexuality. This exchange summarized several hundred words on the subject. The Pope repeated frequent Vatican claims that condoms are not the answer to AIDS before adding, for the first time that: [T]here may be a basis in the case of…

Leaked ‘Freedom Convoy’ Donor Comments Clearly Demonstrate Christian Nationalist Presence

By Thomas Lecaque

…I PROMISE. MAY GOD BE BESIDE YOU AS YOU STAND FOR EVERY CITIZEN OF THIS PLANET, ESPECIALLY ALSO FOR 1ST WORLD AUSTRALIA, SHARING IN YOUR OPPRESSION SO MUCH, -AND EVEN MORE SO!” The reference to crusaders, to striking evil forces, is very close to an active call for violence. Another, from Iowa City, Iowa, writes, “As Archbishop Vigano has confirmed, this crusade by the Canadian Truckers is the spearhead of God on earth to bring down the Deep State…

Only 5 Million “Real” Catholics in the U.S.?

By Marian Ronan

…ion year when the other candidates promise to eviscerate the social safety net. And now the Vatican is going after the sisters. The pollsters had better gear up, because the number of Americans identifying with—and funding—the institutional church is deﬁnitely at risk. My only concern with highlighting this line in the sand is that it may be exactly what the bishops and the Vatican have in mind. There is some disagreement over whether Pope Benedic…
