The finger pointing began even before the election last night was concluded. Whether Coakley’s loss was the result of the White House or her lackluster campaign entirely misses the point. Both camps consists of politicians so they cannot go where I am going to go. The fault lies not in either but with the nihilism [...]

Looking at the results of last night’s off-off year elections is a bit like looking at a Jackson Pollack painting. You see in it what you want.
Did the GOP win? Well, yes and no.
They won big in Virginia and in a squeaker in New Jersey, but lost a seat in upstate New York they [...]

I’m a Catholic, or rather I was. I made the final turn away from the church in 2004 when Bishop Peter Jugis of Charlotte, where I was attending church and living at the time, declared his version of a fatwa on Senator John Kerry who was running for President.

I’ve commented earlier on how young evangelicals have much different politics than their parents. They are more committed to the environment and fighting poverty. They also eschew the so-called wedge issues of abortion and gay marriage. With respect to the former, it’s not that they are not pro-life — they are — rather they are [...]

As I write this article in the general safety and comfort of my home in Western Australia, I am taking some time to reflect on the turbulent events that, I hope, are drawing to a peaceful close half a world away from me, in Tehran.
As I sit here drinking my coffee, chatting to my friends [...]

Frank Schaeffer made a remarkable admission and apology for his contribution to the hate machine responsible for the murder of abortion doctors on Rachel Maddow’s show yesterday. It was notable not only for what he said, but how he said it. He was filled with fire, the same fire he once had for those he [...]

The common thinking by those opposed to late-term abortion is that women suddenly wake up in the late stages of pregnancy and decide, “Oh my God, I’ve made a mistake. Off to the abortionist with me!” Perpetuated by extremists with the Randall Terry/Bill O’Reilly/Sean Hannity virus, this has somehow made its way into the abortion [...]

We’ve already discussed the infamous poll that seemed to show that evangelicals approve torture more than their religious contemporaries. As @Karoli noted in the comments:
It is hardly representative of a) christian teaching; or b) attitudes of younger, more progressive Christians who neither support torture nor the policies of the previous administration.
Not only are progressive and [...]

A new video on YouTube is going viral innocently titled “Muslim Demographics”. It was put on YouTube by the appropriately named FriendofMuslim but once you view its “facts” and biased message you’ll see this poster is no friend of Muslims. It has been viewed over 3.9m times at writing, has been reviewed 4,109 times and [...]

“There are none so blind as those who will not see. The most deluded people are those who choose to ignore what they already know.”
- John Heywood, 1546
A visit to a local food pantry, a Yankees baseball game, and a bilingual sermon ushered in the installation last week of 59 year old Timothy Dolan as [...]
