    Tim Tebow's Brilliant Fake Leads to Pro-Life Score

    By  David Gibson

    Who'd have guessed that Focus on the Family would have so much in common with ManCrunch? The latter is the gay dating service that had its Super Bowl spot rejected by CBS, while Focus on the Family is the flagship political lobby of the Christian right that has been generating buzz for weeks over ...

    By  David Gibson
    %PostTitle%

    Sure, everyone loves the Super Bowl, or at least enough of us to make a quorum or threaten a filibuster. Some 100 million Americans will watch this Sunday's championship spectacular, or at least parts of it. There are the ads, of course, (though not the gay dating service commercial), and the ...

    The (Prayer) Breakfast Club: Obama Does the Lion's Den Again

    By  David Gibson
    %PostTitle%

    President Obama's address at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday was a given -- the chief executive has been the main speaker since the event began in 1953. But rarely has so much been riding on what in recent years has seemed like a feel-good function for conservative Christians and a chance ...

    Mother Teresa: Should a Saint Get Postal Service's Stamp of Approval?

    By  David Gibson
    %PostTitle%

    If anything qualifies as a no-brainer, it would seem to be honoring Mother Teresa of Calcutta on a stamp. Not really the biggest laurel the late Nobel Prize winner and sure-fire saint will ever merit, but nothing to sniff at -- especially given the price of a stamp these days. But of course, you ...

    By  David Gibson

    Yesterday it was the Catholic hierarchy telling Congress to shape up and pass a health care reform bill.

    Mortifying: Pope John Paul II Whipped Himself For Spiritual Growth

    By  David Gibson
    %PostTitle%

    While the world knew the late John Paul II as a cheerful, globe-trotting pontiff -- a "happy warrior," as one biographer put it -- in private the Polish pope used to whip himself with a belt and spend entire nights prostrate on a bare floor in the quest for spiritual growth, according to a new book ...

    By  David Gibson
    %PostTitle%

    The huge crowd of abortion opponents that gathered on the Mall in Washington on Friday for the annual March for Life had good reason to be celebrating on the 37th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion. Recent polls have shown broad declines in public support for abortion, to ...

    By  David Gibson
    %PostTitle%

    Talk radio's resident right-wing provocateur, Rush Limbaugh, has made himself quite a career out of launching blistering broadsides, with President Obama and anything liberal (or anything that is not Rush) as favorite targets. But when Limbaugh tries to get fancy he can sometimes get himself in ...
