The evangelist who united America

America’s conservatives would never elect a Hindu

The hypocrisy of Pope Francis
Pope Francis is sorry and not sorry. Last week, he was in Canada to deliver an apology for the abuse suffered by indigenous children in schools run by the Catholic Church. He was rewarded with approving headlines — and an …
