"The Church is the enemy of science." It’s the slogan of the modern skeptic, usually shouted from the digital rooftops by someone whose last interaction with physics was a C-minus in high school and a three-hour YouTube marathon of "debunking" videos.

Beyond the Verse: What Protestants and Catholics Overlook About the Bible’s Origins
You’ll never look at a Bible’s table of contents the same way again: Protestants and Catholics alike accept things about the Bible that aren’t written in scripture. For Catholics, that’s no scandal—tradition and Church authority are part of the story. If you’re ever hit with a “show-me-a-verse” challenge, remember: sometimes the answer isn’t in a verse at all.

Marriage: Love Is A Choice
On the day that the Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act, my parents celebrated their 31st wedding anniversary. They did so by spending the whole day driving home after a week in Chicago filing paperwork for my grandmother, who passed away in April. Their marriage is one that society could really learn from. A few […]

Pope Francis, President Obama, and Social Justice
