As long as Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., has been in Washington, you’d think she would know there can be no religious test for public office. But apparently, she did not get that memo. Feinstein, a member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, asked University of Notre Dame law professor Amy Coney Barrett, President Donald Trump’s appointee […]

First, it was Bernie Sanders, but now it’s Dianne Feinstein, Dick Durbin and Al Franken joining in on the religious litmus test for government officials and judicial nominees. Sanders asked a nominee to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), Russell Vought, about his religious views during his hearing. At the time, conservatives were outraged by […]

An article in The Atlantic said that former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton may turn to Methodist preaching after her election loss to underdog (and current President) Donald Trump. The article illustrated Hillary Clinton’s attention to secrecy, pointing out that she couldn’t identify herself to voters and now she has nothing to lose in becoming […]

It is interesting to choose to feature an article by a non-Christian on CNN during the Easter season to specifically discuss the parables from the Bible. It’s not that the author is not a legitimate source; the author is a professor of New Testament and Jewish Studies at Vanderbilt University.

Tim Kaine, the Catholic vice presidential candidate for the Democrats and who is running with Hillary Clinton, said that the Catholic Church could evolve on having gay priests. However, Richmond Bishop Francis X. DiLorenzo responded in the following manner: More than a year after the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on marriage, and despite recent statements […]

Just as Mother Teresa will be canonized as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church, CNN ran a piece that included quotes of a critic of the prominent Catholic nun who did humanitarian work in India. But saintly is not a word everyone uses for Mother Teresa. Her critics say she was anything but. Disillusioned former […]

Here’s the buried lede in the NBC News article, whose title was, “Federal Judge Strikes Down Mississippi ‘Religious Freedom’ Law.” Also note the scare quotes used to describe ‘religious liberty’ when it isn’t done with ‘abortion rights,’ ‘gay rights’ or other liberal issues. In his 60-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves, a President Obama […]

Another great take from Mollie Hemingway at The Federalist, displaying the trouble that liberal reporters have with properly writing about religion in general: Come again? Wait, what? What? What in the world is he talking about? A “Bible verse” from “Romans” that calls for the “execution of gays”? Way to bury the lede there, Peters. You […]

Can’t someone else be authorized to perform gay/homosexual/same-sex marriages in her stead? This seems punitive. A state agency wants to remove a small-town judge in Wyoming from two posts because she told a reporter that her religious beliefs would prevent her from solemnizing same-sex marriages. In her full-time responsibilities, Municipal Judge Ruth Neely isn’t authorized […]

Hollywood, specifically Marvel and Disney, have criticized the religious liberty bill as being discriminatory. However, the bill protects religious leaders from performing homosexual marriage ceremonies and being forced to attend these events. Additionally, the bill allows religious organizations to deny use of their facilities if they have religious objections, in addition to exemptions over hiring or […]
