Prosperity gospel televangelist Creflo Dollar says that Satan planted the news story that he had punched and choked his daughter. Dollar was arrested on Saturday and charged with child abuse. Dollar’s daughter said she argued with her father over attending a party, investigator Brent Rowan of the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office told CNN on Friday. Rowan said the daughter told …

The parents of a boy who died of appendicitis while they prayed for Jesus to cure him will not go to jail. Unbelievable. A jury acquitted JaLea and Greg Swezey of Carlton of second-degree murder charges for failing to call a doctor or ambulance before their son Zachery died of a ruptured appendix in 2009. However, they still faced manslaughter …

Cardinal Timothy Dolan yesterday blasted a New York Times report that revealed his payments to pedophile priests. “The New York Times does not have a reputation for fair and accurate reporting when it comes to this issue,” Dolan said yesterday after Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Midtown. “So, to respond to charges like that — that are groundless and …

The National Catholic Register twists itself into knots in a bizarre defense of the Dolan pedophile payoff scandal. Consider this: Suppose you are walking down the street and a homeless person approaches you and asks you for some money. You give him the money. Would that justify a headline saying that you have been paying the homeless? Or suppose you …

And not a peep yet from Bill Donohue, either.

The New York Times last night dropped a bombshell on Cardinal Timothy Dolan, reporting that Dolan paid pedophile priests to go away, rather than turning them in to authorities. Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan of New York authorized payments of as much as $20,000 to sexually abusive priests as an incentive for them to agree to dismissal from the priesthood when …

After the grotesque clip posted here last night went globally viral, the “Ain’t No Homos” church in Indiana posted the below message to their website. The Pastor and members of Apostolic Truth Tabernacle do not condone, teach, or practice hate of any person for any reason. We believe and hope that every person can find true Bible salvation and the …

Thanks to the web sleuthing of a JMG reader, last night we learned Indiana’s Apostolic Truth Tabernacle is where that four year-old child was filmed singing Ain’t No Homos Gonna Make It To Heaven. Shortly after I posted that repulsive clip, I was contacted by several media outlets, including CNN, who now know its source. Contact details for Pastor Jeff …

Christian Love: It’s apparently an actual song and not only did they teach it to a four year-old, they proudly brought him up to the pulpit to perform it, generating whoops and a standing ovation from the congregation. Praise! Glory! Hit the link for the video if you can bear it. UPDATE: A mirrored copy was posted to the comments.

“My Dearest Maureen, I have a confession to make. While some may think you sound like a delusional weepy woman, don’t listen to them. You see, I was in on those meetings with the bishops when we hatched plans to stick it to women and sabotage the Democrats. We met over drinks. Plenty of them. Except for one bishop who …

Anti-gay but gay-sounding Denver preacher Bob Enyart, it turns out, is a convicted child abuser. Yesterday Enyart posted a clip of himself pouring a cup of Starbucks (which he bought) down the sewer. After internet ridicule reached viral proportions, Enyart pulled his clip. But it lives on elsewhere.

The “ex-gay” group PFOX has filed suit against the superintendent of a Maryland school district, claiming that by insulting their distribution of anti-gay flyers, he committed sexual orientation discrimination against them. SRSLY. From a PFOX press release: After PFOX distributed ex-gay flyers to high school students as part of the schools’ flyer distribution program for non-profit organizations, Superintendent Joshua Starr …

“We cannot pick and choose the books of the Bible, we cannot tear out pages, or cross out lines. Orthodoxy is to accept the whole of the Sacred Text, and to consider its claims with reference to the whole of Scripture and in keeping with its trajectory. For a Catholic, of course this is done in union with the Magisterium …

Pastor Sean Harris says I deliberately mischaracterized his words in order to “sensationalize” his message and generate hits to this blog. When you look at my blog you are not bombarded with advertisements. There aren’t any. I don’t make any money from my blog. That is not the purpose of the blog. But that obviously is the purpose of a …

“President Obama’s comments today in support of the redefinition of marriage are deeply saddening. As I stated in my public letter to the President on September 20, 2011, the Catholic Bishops stand ready to affirm every positive measure taken by the President and the Administration to strengthen marriage and the family. However, we cannot be silent in the face of …

Led by bejeweled elderly men wearing elaborately embroidered gowns, on Sunday thousands of Catholics took part in a “rosary march” against civil equality in Minnesota. More photos at the link.

From Faithful America: Abusing gay children is NOT Christian. A North Carolina pastor has made national news with a sermon calling on parents to physically abuse gay children. With only days remaining before a statewide vote on a constitutional amendment banning all legal recognition of same-sex unions, Pastor Sean Harris of Berean Baptist Church told his congregants: “Dads, the second …
