Christian Leaders Misrepresenting The Faith

Last updated on: April 1, 2021 at 7:10 pm By Kermit Zarley

It seems there are so many stories popping up about Christian leaders bringing ill-repute upon the Faith in recent years. The biggest one is probably widespread cases of pedophilia among Roman Catholic priests that has been going on in many parts of the world, especially in the U.S., for several decades and that have been brought to court in recent years, with the Church suffering considerably monetarily. In recent years, there has been various other sexual misconduct by other Christian... Read more

More Nones But Fewer Nuns

Last updated on: March 25, 2021 at 11:43 am By Kermit Zarley

That is not a typo. Actually, there are fewer nuns. The Roman Catholic Church in the U.S. had about 240,000 priests and nuns in 1964, but in 2014 it had only about 90,000. So, there are fewer nuns, but more nones. My friend Scot McKnight is a New Testament professor at Northern Seminary in Lisle, Illinois, which is near Chicago. He has some interesting statistics about church affiliation in his “Scot’s Newsletter” today. He derives it from a new book... Read more

Private Citizen Donald Trump Under Investigation

Last updated on: March 19, 2021 at 7:44 am By Kermit Zarley

I’ve been taking a break from posting about ex-President Donald Trump ever since he left the White House and has been living in Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, as a private citizen. And I intend not to comment about him much anymore. But I thought I would now only bring us up to date on what his legal situation is. Today, The Washington Post has an article penned by four of its reporters entitled, “Trump faces an onslaught of legal... Read more

A Jesuit order of the U.S. Roman Catholic Church announced Monday that it has established Descendants Truth and Reconciliation Foundation for making monetary reparations to descendants of slaves that the church owned in the past. It has pledged $100 million for this endeavor in order to try to atone for its past involvement in slavery.

Republicans May Prevent Herd Immunity

Last updated on: March 16, 2021 at 10:37 am By Kermit Zarley

People are getting vaccinated around the world for COVID-19, especially in advanced countries. Israel has vaccinated a larger percentage of its population, more than half now, than any other country. Israel has had the most aggressive vaccination plan of any country even though ultra-Orthodox Jews have been very resistant to being vaccinated. Part of Israel’s progress has to do with the price national governments have paid to get the vaccination material. In the free world, Israel agreed in the very... Read more

Justin Thomas, the third-ranked pro golfer in the world, came from behind in dramatic form to win The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass by one stroke over 47-year old, perennial, runner-up, yet world-class player, Lee Westwood. Thomas shot 66 and 68 this weekend, a record, for a 14-under par total of 272 on one of the game’s toughest layouts. Westwood was cruising today, coaxing a 2-3 shot lead until Thomas made his move early in the back nine today. And... Read more

Pope Francis Meets Shiite Ayatollah at Ur, Iraq

Pope Francis is doing an honorable thing by making his papacy a hallmark of good will by promoting peace between Roman Catholic Christianity and other religions. So, today he met with the Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani, the preeminent leader of the Shiite branch of Islam in Iraq. As a symbolic act, they met at the ancient birthplace and hometown of Abraham–Ur in southern Iraq. Abraham is claimed as the father of all three major monotheistic religions in the world: Judaism,...
