The New York Times is worried about conservative young women. You know the ones who stress marriage, family and faith. OBVIOUSLY, this is a political story. Right? All you have to do to cover it is go to ONE Donald Trump related event. That’s the ticket.

Primarily because some of them want a life that includes faith, marriage and family

The killings continue in Nigeria, week after week. Catholics and Protestants alike are being butchered by radical Fulani militants — who have been killing moderate Muslims as well. WHY ISN’T THIS NEWS in major American media? That’s the question I hear over and over. Here is my attempt to answer that….

Waves of death in Gaza are valid news. How about machete rampages in Nigeria?

When is a bomb in a church a matter of church history, as well as modern politics in the Middle East? When the church is near the Street Called Straight. Should journalists realize that this is a reference to the Book of Acts? Yes, when covering the martyrs of Antioch.

Journalists need to understand basic facts of history in the Middle East

The Gray Lady reports: Don’t worry about screen time. Parents should start worrying when their children display, you know, evidence of addiction, like suicidal wishes. That’s when kiddos need “cognitive behavioral psychotherapy” treatments. Hang in there!

That was in the New York Times news pages, while the After Babel team had an op-ed slot

Is Amy Coney Barrett still the scary Catholic lady that the New York Times once feared? Well, one thing is certain: That is a question about Catholic intellectual life and legal theory — not pure politics.

Yes, there are Catholic-shaped holes in that important New York Times feature

Democrats have lost the ability to talk to millions of American men. Talk about what? The big problem is “culture,” apparently. No need, in that New York Times feature, to ask about religion and morality.

Apparently, the party has "culture" issues, but religion isn't part of this drama

I confess: I do not understand the power of “influencers”? Can someone explain this to me? What is the difference between people with credentials producing material about subjects that matter to them and, well, the parade of faces that show up in this viral YouTube about the end of the world? Help me out, folks.

This aging Baby Boomer understands the role of superstars, but not the pretenders

It’s a flashback day, with return looks at the almost faith-free Meet the Press look at the smartphones crisis, a new audio file of the tmatt lecture on Orthodox families in screen culture and an After Babel essay on phones in schools that you will need to read to believe. Stunning.

Plus, who watched that Meet the Press" special on U.S. mental-health crisis?

26/05/2025

What if the powers that be at Marvel made Star-Lord the Alpha of the Avengers 2.0 lineup? Would that be an important moment in American culture wars? Might that even be a religion story linked to the controversial faith of Chris Pratt? Think about it.

Chris Pratt's Christian faith may be too controversial for this rumor to be true

It appears that, for Pope Leo XIV, concerns about AI run deeper than economic concerns about workers and, well, deep-fake videos that make it appear that he is saying things that he has not said. Looming in the background: HAL 9000 and other off-the-rails forms of AI. The New York Times needs to add a religion-beat scribe to the pope/AI team.

Concerns about artificial intelligence even shaped his choice of a papal name

Can computer programs lie? That would mean that they can sin. What happens if Super AI computers start working their way through the whole Ten Commandments. Just asking. It's a Rational Sheep kind of question.

In which Ross Douthat hears some scary prophecies from AI insider Daniel Kokotajlo

16/05/2025

I love the Zen-classic flick Groundhog Day. I don't like how most of MSM is covering Pope Leo XIV. What's the connection? Hint: This conclave was NOT about America.

Dare I repeat myself? "Yo, editors, this conclave" was "not about America"
