Saint Nicholas Strikes Back: Catholic Memes and Secularized Feast Days

Last updated on: March 22, 2013 at 11:55 am   By Geoffrey Reiter

I went to the kind of small Christian college that still required chapel attendance, and one morning, scheduled in the midst of all the pastors and inspirational or motivational speakers, we had a presenter who came dressed as Saint Patrick.  He did nothing but recite Patrick’s autobiographical Confessio.  He never broke character, even using his staff to prod awake a student who had fallen asleep in the first row.  While some of my fellow student may have found the exercise... Read more

The following are actual search terms people typed into Google (Yahoo?) which directed them to CaPC. In most cases they didn’t find the answer they were looking for on our site. FSQ is an attempt to remedy this problem by answering some of the most (de)pressing questions sent to us through search terms.

Lean In: A Christian Woman’s Perspective on Sheryl Sandberg’s Book

Last updated on: March 21, 2013 at 10:44 am   By Lauren Rambo

"When sermons nearly always characterize women as mothers who have sacrificed career for family, when Christian websites are eerily silent about women who work, and when a small but loud minority suggest working women are sinful, the church suffers." Read more

Haircuts in Cyprus: Our Crisis of Debt Conscience

Last updated on: March 21, 2013 at 11:56 pm   By S. L. Whitesell

Americans pride themselves on outdoing the rest of the world in output, in the sheer number and magnitude of our accomplishments. This is no less true when it comes to furiously spending money we don’t have. But if the ongoing brouhaha in Cyprus is any indication, we had better enact a few more trillion-dollar stimuli before the EU catches up to us. The great project for a European Confederation is steadily hurtling towards its logical conclusion. It was always a... Read more

God and Country Music: What Hootie Taught Me about Contextualization

Last updated on: March 20, 2013 at 9:23 am   By Nick Rynerson

Each week in God and Country Music, Nick Rynerson gives country music a chance and examines the world of Americana, folk, alt-country, and popular country music. I’ve had a rocky relationship with popular country music over the years. I often find the culture surrounding it to be unapologetically ignorant and the landscape to be littered with really bad songs. However, there seem to be more really, really good songs in pop country than most any other popular genre. I try to... Read more
