Tim Tebow's Brilliant Fake Leads to Pro-Life Score
By David GibsonWho'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 ...
If You Like the Super Bowl, Does That Make You a Republican?
By David Gibson
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 ...
Is the Resurrection Funny? One Church Has a Super Bowl Bet on It
By David Gibson
Tim Tebow vs. ManCrunch has become the dominant Super Bowl story line in the run-up to Sunday's championship game. The decision by CBS to broadcast the pro-life story of Tebow's birth vs. the decision to bar ManCrunch's gay dating service spot (as the network has done with other gay-themed ...
The (Prayer) Breakfast Club: Obama Does the Lion's Den Again
By David Gibson

Mother Teresa: Should a Saint Get Postal Service's Stamp of Approval?
By David Gibson
If anything qualifies as a no-brainer, it would seem to be honoring Mother Teresa of Calcutta on a stamp.

Religious Left to Obama: Man Up and Push Reform
By David GibsonYesterday it was the Catholic hierarchy telling Congress to shape up and pass a health care reform bill. Today it is a high-profile cohort from the religious left telling President Obama, in effect, to man up and show some leadership. "Your active and public leadership is desperately needed at this ...
Catholic Bishops to Congress: Ditch the Politics, Pass Health Care

Mortifying: Pope John Paul II Whipped Himself For Spiritual Growth
By David Gibson
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 ...
Roe v. Wade Supporter Scott Brown, Improbable Pro-Life Hero
By David Gibson
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 ...
Rush Limbaugh Tries to Enlist 'Jewish Bankers' Against Obama
By David Gibson
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 ...
