        AOC: Bernie Made Me 'Recognize My Inherent Value as a Human Being'

        <description><![CDATA[
        On Saturday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) revealed that her "democratic socialism" is effectively a religion. The fact that she&nbsp;endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in the 2020 Democratic presidential race is not much of a surprise: both are self-described "democratic socialists" and both support the same kind of government takeovers of the economy. Yet AOC's statements about Sanders proved rather eye-opening.

        <description><![CDATA[
        On Tuesday, a district court judge struck down the Obama administration's since defunct mandate forcing doctors to perform transgender surgery regardless of their religious convictions or conscientious objections. The mandate, handed down by Obama's Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), ironically did not apply to Medicare and Medicaid or to military doctors because the government's own research showed that transgender hormones and surgeries can be harmful.

        Pew Research <a href="https://www.pewforum.org/2019/10/17/in-u-s-decline-of-christianity-continues-at-rapid-pace/">released a survey</a> that shows a growing rejection of religious affiliation, especially among Christians over the last decade. The drop is especially noticeable among millennials. And there is a generational divide as well, as older Americans hang on to the faith of their fathers.

        <description><![CDATA[
        This week, the Institute for Family Studies (IFS) and the Philanthropy Roundtable <a href="https://ifstudies.org/ifs-admin/resources/ifscofjacksonvillereportfinal.pdf">released a study</a> showing that a Christian pro-family initiative had a measurable impact in driving down divorce rates in Jacksonville, Florida. The Jacksonville Baptist Association and the Roman Catholic diocese united to launch the Culture of Freedom Initiative (COFI) to strengthen marriages and prevent divorces. The three-year initiative ran from 2016 to 2018 and coincided with a 24 percent drop in the local divorce rate.

        <description><![CDATA[
        At the Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, President Donald Trump issued a powerful rebuke to former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas), who called for the IRS to revoke the tax-exempt status of churches and religious groups that oppose same-sex marriage. The president vowed that he would "never allow the federal government to be used to target, harass, or punish communities of faith."

But it does raise an inevitable question: isn’t there a site in New York City where Muslims had an enormous impact on that city, the United States, and the entire world? What is its name again? Why is it left out of this tour?

        <description><![CDATA[
        Princeton Professor Robert George, a very public Catholic intellectual, has <a href="https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2019/10/04/muslims-and-christians-must-unite-against-hate">published a piece</a> in the left-leaning Jesuit magazine <em>America</em> saying: “I urge my fellow Christians of all traditions to remember how much we share with faithful Muslims.” He declares that “Christians and Muslims must, as never before, join hands to bear witness to God’s sovereignty, to God’s love for each and every member of the human family, to God’s desire that we lead upright lives.” But as is always the case with exhortations such as this one, note how one-sided it is. Robert George tells Christians not to hate Muslims, which is a very good thing for him to tell them, but he never says a word about trying to get Muslims not to hate Christians.

        <description><![CDATA[
        At the CNN LGBT town hall on Thursday, former Vice President Joe Biden advocated for a kind of terror watchlist to monitor organizations that oppose same-sex marriage and transgender identity, similar to a previous Obama administration effort targeting conservatives groups. This monitoring echoed the Southern Poverty Law Center's accusations that mainstream conservative Christian organizations are "anti-LGBT hate groups" on par with the Ku Klux Klan.

        'Lack of Belief in Transgenderism' Is 'Incompatible With Human Dignity,' UK Court Says

        <description><![CDATA[
        In June 2018, David Mackereth, a British medical doctor and disability assessor, was effectively forced out of his job for disagreeing with transgender identity. He cited his Christian belief in Genesis 1:27, that God created humans male and female, along with basic genetics. He sued his former employer, the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP), claiming discrimination for his beliefs. Tragically, the employment tribunal ruled that he was not discriminated against,&nbsp;<i>while actively demonizing — if not&nbsp;outlawing — his beliefs</i>.

        University Officials Held 'Personally Liable' for Discriminating Against Christians

        <link>https://pjmedia.com/faith/university-officials-held-personally-liable-for-discriminating-against-christians/</link>
        <description><![CDATA[
        On Friday, a federal court ruled that officials at the University of Iowa must pay out of their own pockets for discriminating against InterVarsity Christian Fellowship by kicking them off campus, along with other religious student groups. The university deregistered the religious groups after an openly gay man claimed he was unjustly denied a leadership position in another Christian organization that required leaders to follow traditional Christian sexual morality. This morality may be unpopular, but organizations should have the freedom of association to limit their leadership to those who follow their precepts.

        <description><![CDATA[
        What are we to make of the news that rapper Kanye West has reportedly become a Christian -- "born again," according to his wife, Kim Kardashian West? I'm as cynical as the next person when it comes to stories like this, preferring to wait and see if there's any there there -- if the profession of faith was a flash in the pan or a true conversion that bears fruit. I'm doubly suspicious of professions of faith by big-name stars coming out of the entertainment industry. We've seen a lot of them over the years (hey, Katy Perry!), and more often than not, they turn out to be little more than a) an emotional decision bereft of theology and/or b) a plea for attention/cry for help.

        A Prayer for the Days of Awe

        <description><![CDATA[
        On the eve of the Days of Awe, we consider carefully what we shall say to the King of Kings as he draws near to the Jewish people at this solemn time. The Hebrew word for praying, <em>l'hitpallel</em>, does not refer to petition as in most languages, but rather means "self-judgment." We cannot see the big picture. The Jews who went to the gas chambers in 1943 could not have imagined that the first flowering of our redemption, the founding of a Jewish State in the Land of Israel, would come only five years later. Something I heard from a Jewish friend who grew up in Poland after the war sticks in my mind today. As a small child, she played in Lodz near a monument to the martyred Jewish children of the city, and said to herself: "We're playing for you." We pray for a life of dignity, sustenance, health, and for children committed to Torah, but we cannot know that our personal wishes will bear fruit. But we believe with perfect faith that no matter what happens to our children, there always will be Jewish children who will play for them.

        <description><![CDATA[
        Over the weekend, Kanye West performed the songs on his new album "Jesus Is King," which was set to release on Sunday. At one of his secretive performances, West announced that he would no longer make secular music, henceforth dedicating himself to Christian Gospel music. One of the songs on the new album celebrates Chick-fil-A. While his wife, Kim Kardashian West, claims Kanye West is born again, many Christians have expressed skepticism about his conversion, due to the artist's pride and his secretive performances of the new album.

        Anti-Religious AG Twisted the Law Against This Catholic Agency

        <description><![CDATA[
        On Thursday, a district court judge granted a <a href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/becketnewsite/Buck-v.-Gordon.pdf">preliminary injunction</a> to protect a Roman Catholic adoption agency from discriminatory state government action. In 2015, Michigan passed a law to protect the religious freedom of adoption agencies like St. Vincent Catholic Charities. Yet Democrat Dana Nessel, an open lesbian, demonized proponents of the law as "hate-mongers." When she assumed office as Michigan's attorney general, she effectively reversed the law, weaponizing the power of the state against this Catholic adoption agency.
