The Kiddy Pool: Bedtime Stories, Morphine, and the Peace of God

Last updated on: February 25, 2013 at 8:14 pm By Erin Wyble Newcomb

Every week in The Kiddy Pool, Erin Newcomb confronts one of many issues that parents must deal with related to popular culture. Bedtime battles also make me think of the ways we resist what is good for us, as earthly children and as children of God. I started reading Maria Tatar’s Enchanted Hunters for a scholarly project. The book ended up not quite relating to my research trajectory, but I kept reading anyway, mostly because I have LOTS of time on... Read more

The Dark Side of Modeling

Last updated on: February 25, 2013 at 7:58 am By Lauren Rambo

I think I know why people may want to be a model. The veneer of being extraordinarily beautiful, garnering loads of attention, making oodles of money, being showered with free clothes, and rubbing elbows with fashion big shots sounds appealing. And they’re partly right. Being a successful high fashion model brings with it a jet set lifestyle of glamour. So what’s the problem? The recently concluded Fall-Winter 2013 collections at New York Fashion Week (NYFW) continues to perpetuate the myth that... Read more

The Next Pope Should be a Protestant (No, Not Really)

Last updated on: February 25, 2013 at 6:52 am By S. L. Whitesell

Pope Benedict XVI has announced that he will relinquish his office at the end of February, an event that has not been seen since the 13th century. As the outgoing pope delivered his final Sunday blessing this week, the Conclave prepares to meet to elect his successor (see this neat (if imperfectly translated) graphic). By the time the Papal Conclave convenes in March, the “media conclave” will have cast scores of votes electing the next Bishop of Rome. The rumors were barely confirmed before lists... Read more

Contraceptive Mandate: Accommodating the Accommodation

Last updated on: February 21, 2013 at 1:22 pm By S. L. Whitesell

The Obama administration recently announced an accommodation of their contraceptive mandate accommodation under the Affordable Care Act. The constitutional and legal intricacies can be hard to follow, but at the center of it all are enduring questions of religious liberty and public policy. The contraceptive mandate is a perfect test case, because it pits a widely (but by no means unanimously) endorsed public health measure against the clear moral teaching of a large and ancient religious group. The question we... Read more

Faith in ABC’s Zero Hour? Don’t Bet on It

Last updated on: February 21, 2013 at 3:22 am By Geoffrey Reiter

I love a well-thought-out conspiracy show; for a researcher like me, there is nothing quite like the thrill of attempting to follow competing storylines and unravel an intricate mystery. As such, I approached the pilot of ABC’s new uber-conspiracy show Zero Hour with cautious optimism. The series follows Hank Galliston (Anthony Edwards), editor of Modern Skeptic, whose wife Laila (Jacinda Barrett) is kidnapped by Vincent, a terrorist (Michael Nyqvist) seeking, it seems, a mysterious clock she had purchased for her...
