This member of the Oklahoma State Legislature thought that only 50 people heard her speak… This is what “They say” when “they” think “we’re” not listening:
Gays are infiltrating city councils!… They are winning elections. They are worst than terrorists!
I’m torn… It’s believable - having heard such speeches in the past. But it [...]

I’ve decided that Rod Dreher has crossed a line in his proud, judgemental ability to call a NYC bride - about whom he knows nothing except the design of her dress - a slut: so I’ve decided to cross a line myself. Rod is a perfect little bear.
We’d call him a “cub” in the [...]

I love this post from Rocco over at Whispers in the Loggia.
With Western Easter falling so early this year, Holy Week is causing a liturgical shuffle of several Saints’ Days including St Patricks Day which, liturgically, is being observed on 14 March this year (in the Roman communion).
This of course raises [...]

Over at Religion Dispatches, Ira Chernus stumbles on an old (4 years) theological treatise from Associate Justice Antonin Scalia. Chernus notes his issues right up front:
Scalia notes (correctly, I think) that for most of Western history people assumed that the state derived its authority from God. But then he argues, quoting St. Paul (Romans [...]

Archbishop Burke butts in where he is unwelcome. Again. Telling a basketball coach what not to say in support of political candidates. This annoys people to no end.
But I really did like this comment a lot:
It’s a well known fact that Catholics listen to the coaches of their sport teams for guidance [...]

You may remember a recent survey that said non-Christians (especially young ones) thought that Christians were too in to that whole anti-homosexual thing to be taken seriously. Our friends at the very-Evangelical Barna Group have proven the point:
Folks were asked to rank 10 issues for the upcoming election. And the population was broken into [...]

According to Catholic News, there is a group setting out to document “Christianophobia” in Europe. They say this is the “irrational fear of Christians or Christianity.”
Define “irrational”?
Given the history of recent Christian political actions - which is what most politically active people know: attempting to force their (Christian) moral choices on the rest of [...]

OK… Back when the Canadian laws and the UK marriage laws were passed I noted that I was thankful for our (US) preservation of the separation of Church and State. But I also noted that Churches should - soon - get out of the state business of “doing” the legal part of marriage. [...]

At the Iowa Caucuses, last night, Pastor Huckabee’s cheerleader, Rebecca Sweethood, lets you know what she, at least, thinks of you in this prayer for the Pastor:
We pray that you would lift Mike Huckabee up, Lord… Lord we pray that he would not be ashamed to be known as a pastor. And that is exactly [...]
