1 week ago | religionnews.com | Roxanne Stone

You don’t want to be THAT tourist. We all need a vacation and many of us are seeking more than rest or fun on our next getaway. Pilgrimages, retreats, wellness centers — an industry has grown up around the desire to to find transcendence — or at least a bit of mindfulness — while escaping real life. On this episode, Katelyn and Roxy explore the cringe factors inherent in spiritual tourism — selfies in temples anyone? — and the true rewards that sacred travel can offer.

Succession, Vatican Style and the Legacy of Pope Francis + Claire Giangravé

3 weeks ago | religionnews.com | Roxanne Stone

Pope Francis was a man of the people. Will the next pope be? After 12 years as the head of the Catholic church — and the most famous Christian in the world — Pope Francis died on Monday (April 21) at 88. A charismatic reformer, the first Latin American pope and the first Jesuit pope, Francis was beloved well beyond the Catholic church. As world leaders, Catholic faithful and cardinals from around the globe travel to the Vatican this week to mourn Francis, talk of his successor has also begun.

We’re talking, of course, about PSA — or penal substitutionary atonement theory.

A popular subreddit asks “does anyone else just… not like kids?” A crowd of the usual suspects — pro-natalists, theo bros and mom influencers — pounce on these examples to decry our increasingly “anti-kid” and “childless cat lady” culture. Is this just a recycled generational debate — feminists vs homemakers but this time on TikTok — or is there something new going on here?
