Unlike in 2018, Pittsburgh was not the center of the religion-news universe in 2019, for which we can be grateful. And yet there are eerie parallels between last year and this in the annual surveys of the top religion stories of the year as voted by members of the Religion News Association.
In 2018, voters said the top story of the year was the ... Read More and CommentEarly Returns Feed:

I was sorry to hear the news of the passing of Brother Patrick Hart, who was the last secretary to fellow Trappist monk Thomas Merton and who went on to edit and write works by and about Merton.
I had a handful of encounters with Brother Patrick over the years and always knew him as a gracious, welcoming presence at the Abbey of Gethsemani ... Read More and CommentPublished on Wednesday, 20 February 2019 8:24 am by
This starts out like it could be funny -- which are the most sinful states. Then you read the methodology, and it's really depressing.
Usually lists like this define "sin" the way a certain brand of moralism would -- drinking, smoking, gambling, extra-marital sex, etc. And yeah, Nevada lives up to its reputation, being an epicenter of the legalized ... Read More and CommentPublished on Sunday, 30 December 2018 11:46 am by

Earlier this year, Pittsburgh's Stephen Foster statue was removed amid the nation's wider reassessment of other public art, especially Confederate statues and similar monuments to institutional bigotry.
This week saw two such historical reckonings down the Ohio River in the state that Foster lionized in "My Old Kentucky Home." (Incidentally, that is ... Read More and CommentEarly Returns Feed:

I really hope the midterm elections stick it to cowardly republicans who won't stand up to Trump or defend the rule of law. Disgusting.

Trump is getting angrier and angrier about the leaks coming from the White House. The most recent leak concerns the horrible comment one of his staffers made about John McCain. If only Trump were angry enough to show some integrity by firing the person or by offering an apology.
