Russell Moore is moving to Christianity Today, how relationships matter in conflicts between religious freedom and LGBT rights, and one nun's focus on mortality
The story about Sister Aletheia just further solidifies my conviction that Catholics have infinitely better aesthetics than basically all protestant denominations. Say what you will theologically about saints, purgatory, or whatever else Southerners don't like about Catholics, but their brand is a whole lot more, shall I say, bad-ass than anyone else on the Martin Luther side of the Schism. Protestant churches have a history of dorky guys trying to recreate being cowboys (see The Great Adventure), while Catholicism has death nuns with a public image not too far off from Metallica. Lest we forget heavy metal and classical music share a lot in common, too. Likewise, it doesn't take too much work to interpret "Shout at the Devil" by Mötley Crüe a Christian song.
