Letter from faith leaders critical of his comments about Obama’s religion.

Santorum not alone among Catholics in antipathy to JFK’s speech.

Okay, that’s not true. But neither are Rick Santorum’s claims about forced murder in the Netherlands.

For leaders of the Southern Baptist Convention, if heaven ain’t a lot like Dixie—with low taxes, fewer regulations, a decreased state involvement in public welfare and institutions, denial of coverage for women’s health concerns, and bitter attacks on the Obama administration launched from every available platform—then they don’t want to go. And even the city slickers running Mitt Romney’s campaigns and the rowdy friends at Ron Paul’s rallies should be able to appreciate that.

Respect the Constitution and the voters.

The latest Bloggingheads.

Two unlikely heroes, Tim Tebow and Jeremy Lin, have rocked the sports world. Lurking behind their stardom is a whole lot of bad theology.

Efforts by the hierarchical institution to spin the current controversy as a matter of religious liberty are unconvincing. After all, it is not the Catholic Church whose liberty is impinged upon. Members, even bishops, can still teach and believe what they wish. No one forces them to use contraception. Rather, it is employees of Catholic institutions, including janitors and housekeepers, whose rights to make their own decisions about health care are impinged upon. Blaming the victim is an old trick, but, in this case, few people are buying it.

Franklin Graham, panderer to the most powerful (and most conservative) members of the GOP, revives Obama as Muslim lie.

Santorum says he’s not questioning Obama’s religion but rather his “worldview.” His Christian worldview.
