Recipe for disaster  —  Sen. John Kerry, Massachusetts Democrat, insists on proving that he can't be trusted.  He made his political debut in 1970, joining the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, then accused American troops of war crimes in Vietnam — and tried to deny he had done so.

Christ Among the Partisans  —  THERE is no such thing as a "Christian politics."  If it is a politics, it cannot be Christian.  Jesus told Pilate: "My reign is not of this present order.  If my reign were of this present order, my supporters would have fought against my being turned over to the Jews.

"Christianism": A Defense  —  Some readers have objected to my attempt to coin a new word to describe those who would deploy the teachings of Jesus as a political ideology as "Christianists."  They don't like the analogy to Islamists, and think it imputes to politicized Christians an endorsement of terror or violence.

Should We Ban Abortion For Non-Affluent Women?  That Is The Only Question  —  This is, alas, not from a pessimistic feminist sci-fi novel: … What we have in El Salvador, then, is an actually principled forced pregnancy legal regime.  This framework does not have the procedural inequities …
